Version: 0.9.15-1
Severity: important
Hi,
since 0.9.15 my sound server can't start anymore. Here's what I've got in the logs:

It's running in system mode.
But I'm sorry I made a mistake: the sound is working. It's just that I
have a second (unconnected) sound card which pulseaudio decided is the
default output now. Manually specifying the output works.

Are you running pulseaudio in system wide mode or in the user session?
