System-wide daemon startup fails on Fedora 8

[elvenhack]

On Fedora 8 from root account (with pulseaudio daemon not already running and no X Windows server logged in) attempt to start pulseaudio as a system wide daemon fail with "deamon startup failed" error message. Root account has been added to groups "pulse-access" "pulse-rt" and "pulse".

# pulseaudio -v -D --system I: core-util.c: Successfully gained nice level -11. E: main.c: daemon startup failed.

Just modify your /etc/pulse/default.pa fo NOT load the X11-module. It should look like:

### Publish connection data in the X11 root window # .ifexists /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules//module-x11-publish.so # load-module module-x11-publish # .endif

Sorry, it sould look like:

### Publish connection data in the X11 root window
# .ifexists /usr/lib/pulse-0.9/modules//module-x11-publish.so
# load-module module-x11-publish
# .endif

The new default.pa doesn't fail if the X11 modules fail to load anymore. This should fix your bug.
