Everyone knows logging in as root is not recommended ;)

When you login as root, two things need to be done, you need to add to panel "Indicator plugin" (Settings>Settings Manager>Panel>Items>Click on +>Add "Indicator plugin"), then run in terminal :

pulseaudio -D

And if you want to start after boot, i made this small edit for /etc/rc.conf

nano /etc/rc.conf

And add before "exit 0"

pulseaudio -D

It's not bug, just system is not made for that kind of use. If you have other solution you can propose, but i find this one simple.

Have fun !
