Thank you for the try. Apparently I don't have that file on my system.
What package provides it or creates it?
Well, that guess didn't work. I had thought that was the way it was done.
The file is provided by pulseaudio-module-x11 but clearly that is a dead end.
I've only had the chance to take a cursory look but looking at the output of ps
egreshko 1189 890 0 08:25 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --daemonize=no
and PID 890 is
egreshko 890 1 0 08:23 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user
So, it would seem that pulseaudio is started via systemd user.
[egreshko@f32k ~]$ systemctl --user list-units | grep pulse
pulseaudio.service
loaded active running Sound Service
pulseaudio.socket
loaded active running Sound System
I'd think that looking into how that is done may be worthwhile.
