Bug Description
Hello,
Let start with the most basic, I fully understand that System mode is taboo and unsupported by upstream. I understand there reasoning, well I don't get the part about "You shouldn't use system mode because we refuse to offer SHM support for it." That's just the pot calling the kettle black.
In any case I'm using PA in system mode because I haven't been able to use dmix for various reasons, the closest I got was after 5 or 6 hacks I got silence and surround sound was forever out of my reach. I'm sure there are other vary rare cases where System mode may be the only logical option. What I needed out of dmix was to mix sound from several users, libvirt and others.
Regardless of why, you should just take it on my authority that I have good reason for configuring a system this way.
Attached you should find my /etc/default/
Would a patch for this be accepted into Ubuntu?
