# The default user for running the PulseAudio daemon system-wide is 'pulse',
# the default group is 'pulse'.  The group for users that are allowed to
# start it with realtime scheduling is 'pulse-rt'.  The group that is
# allowed access to a system-wide daemon is 'pulse-access'.  You'll need to
# create the user and groups.  If you want to change the user or groups, see
# the configure options.
