PulseAudio as system-wide daemon: cannot enable Gnome sound events

Reported by: JeroenHoek Owned by: lennart

Description

The ESD compatibility layer runs PulseAudio as a user when called upon. This is undesirable when a system-wide daemon is running. However, with "Enable software sound mixing (ESD)" disabled in the Sound preferences of Gnome, the system sound event options too gets greyed out.

Can the ESD compatibility layer perhaps check for a system-wide daemon and act as a proxy for it instead of always launching PulseAudio as a user if the user is not running one yet?
