I've been reading up on these errors, and everyone is dealing with the code, esound vs. pulse, etc.

I have a slightly different question:  What about permissions?
I upgraded from 10.3 to 11.0 GM.  If I run 'groups' I get "users, video, wheel". Not audio, and none of the 3 pulse groups now in /etc/group.
pulseaudio is running with my user permissions, not as root or anything.
/dev/snd/* devices are all "crw-rw----+  1 root audio".  So I'm curious - should I be in any other groups than what I am in, and would that help this problem?

my /var/log/messages gets the following:
pulseaudio[32685]: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied
pulseaudio[32685]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
pulseaudio[32685]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted

Great timing - as I write this, suseupdater-kde just notified me of a bunch of updates - for pulse!  Lets hope they help.

Haven't seen this in ages, closing as FIXED.
