title: Sound on system but pulseaudio access denied issue
body: <p>I'm having an issue with PulseAudio and also since many days that give me some headaches...
  I've to sound on my system, no problems with that (both firefox and Spotify works) but I've issues in the syslog that lead some software (snips in that case) to not load.</p>
  
  <p>The command 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' give me the following result :</p>

  <p>So I wandered arround the web, follow countless of topics and tutorials, purge and reinstall pulse, alsa ... But nothing seams to works...
  As you may asks, here are the permissions of my home folder :</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@paulm-serveur:/home/paulm# ls -la /home
  total 12
  drwxr-xr-x  3 root  root  4096 mai    5 18:05 .
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root  root  4096 mai   11 21:23 ..
  drwxr-xr-x 28 paulm paulm 4096 mai   15 22:41 paulm

  <p>My user is part of the following groups :</p>
  
  <pre><code>paulm@paulm-serveur:~$ groups
  paulm sys adm cdrom sudo audio dip video plugdev lpadmin pulse pulse-access sambashare _snips pulse-rt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I add few modification on the pulse config :</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc/pulse/daemon.conf
      daemonize = yes 
  
  /etc/pulse/default.pa
      load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7
      load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,3 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And my asound.conf is :</p>
  
  <pre><code>pcm.!default {
      type pulse
      hint.description "Default Audio Device"
  }
  ctl.!default {
      type pulse
  }
  
  pcm.pulse {
      type pulse
  }
  
  ctl.pulse {
      type pulse
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My sound output is an HDMI port on a Nvidia card.</p>
  
  <p>Is there anything I've missed or seems to be out of place in my config?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help,</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
