Moving pulseaudio out of home

Solution 1:

The PulseAudio developers don't seem to like a lot of things, one of which is this workaround:

Use PulseAudio as a system daemon, rather than running it per-user.

As I mentioned, the developers don't particularly recommend this, for their own reasons. If you do this, be aware of the potential security impact on your systems.

Solution 2:

A little late, but maybe it helps nevertheless.

A bindmount to some other folder (outside your NFS mount) is your friend. I just tried it sucessfully.

mount -o bind /tmp/.johndoe_puls /home/johndoe/.puls

Of course, this can only be done by the root user. The mountpoint of the bindmount gets the same permission set as the mount target.
