This is a simple ansible role which offers the following features:
- create a user
multimedia, with it’s own home and group - configure that user such that it always has a user session
- run a pulseaudio in that user session
- make that pulseaudio offer network services
- Everything is hardcoded (I accept PRs to change that!)
- Upon change of any configuration, the pulseaudio daemon is not restarted or anything. I don’t know how to fix this (it runs in a user systemd), PRs appreciated.
- While the unit files for socket activation are in this repository, I had to disable it; Pulseaudio 5.0 (which ships with debian jessie) cannot into socket activation yet.
It is made for my own use, so no warranties or anything. It works on my Debian 8 deployment. Feel free to use this for your own configuration or make pull requests to make it more generic. See the LICENSE file for copying information (spoiler: GPLv3).

This role was made on basis of a holo package made by Stefan Majewsky, which fulfills about the same purpose. Conversion to ansible done by me.
