Unable to create directories in bt_speaker user directory? #22

When I check the sudo systemctl status bt_speaker.service I see this error. It seems there are some permissions issues for the btspeaker user?

I was able to fix this by manually creating the /home/btspeaker/.config/pulse/ directory and giving btspeaker ownership on the entire /home/btspeaker/directory

I think it is because pulseaudio changes the default behaviour of aplay. It will route audio to the pulseaudio daemon instead of sending it directly to sound card. Pulse then needs a valid home directory.
