Yeah, that looks very wrong.
Like mentioned earlier in this thread, just put the user into the
audio/video system group and forget about any permissions management.
That works for me. I wonder if I could use ExecStartPre to run a shell
script to make sure the user is in those groups and write to stderr if
not?
Also, the shell expansion doesn't work on ExecStart, so how to I set
the user in the command line?
Thanks,
