pulseaudio for Debian
---------------------

The pulseaudio executable is installed suid root. This is the recommended
configuration as it allows pulseaudio to run with realtime priority. After
grabbing the realtime capability, pulseaudio drops all other root
priviledges. Only users in the pulse-rt group are granted realtime
priviledges in this way. It is highly recommended that all users that will
be running pulseaudio should be add to the pulse-rt group to prevent
skipping and dropouts in audio output. You should also enable the
high-priority option in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to ensure that pulseaudio is
started with realtime priority.

PLEASE NOTE: PulseAudio's default configuration uses high quality sample
rate conversion that may be overly CPU intensive. If PulseAudio's CPU usage
is unacceptable on your hardware, please change the resample-method option
in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to either src-linear or trivial. See daemon.conf
for more details.
