Pulse Audio wont start.

Question

im installing pulse audio, as setup in the wiki.
[root@torrentslave mark]# /etc/rc.d/pulseaudio start
:: Starting pulseaudio daemon [FAIL]
[root@torrentslave mark]#
i tried running it manually, but that didnt help eaither
[root@torrentslave mark]# /usr/bin/pulseaudio ${PA_OPTS} --fail=1 --daemonize=1 --system
W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set!
N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode!
N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time!
E: main.c: Daemon startup failed.
[root@torrentslave mark]#
[root@torrentslave mark]#
so far my experience with pulse has been bad, this is the 2nd time i have tried using it (first was when it was shiped with ubuntu for the first time)
any way i can sort this out?
im thinking its a something to do with a module called capability, which i have only ever herd of today , ones when trying to setup wtorrent, and the other when trying to set up pulse, i dont have the module on my system.
this is a brand new install done today from the 64bit net install cd.
[root@torrentslave mark]# modprobe capability
any pointers will be appriciated
thanks MArkp1989
FATAL: Module capability not found.

Answer 1

Running pulseaudio as a system-wide daemon isn't recommended, do you really need to run it that way?
