asterisk users - Jul 2015 - Asterisk 11 and pulseaudio setup as local user

Sorry Rusty...

I am trying to get Asterisk 11 to co-exist with a centos 7 box that has
pulse audio running as a local user.

Has anyone done that?
What is the trick?

I changed directories /var/run/asterisk, /var/spool/asterisk,
/var/log/asterisk,
/usr/lib/asterisk, /etc/dahdi and all that stuff.

The console channel gets errors on opening.

Thanks,

Jerry

alsa_card_init^[[0m: snd_pcm_open failed: Connection refused
soundcard_init^[[0m: Problem opening alsa capture device

These are the errors I get.

I changed the following:
chown -R myuser:myuser  /var/log/asterisk
chown -R myuser:myuser /var/lib/asterisk
chown -R myuser:myuser /var/spool/asterisk
chown -R myuser:myuser /var/run/asterisk
chown -R myuser:myuser /usr/lib/asterisk
edited asterisk.conf and uncommented runuser and rungroup and changed to
myuuser

Then I get the above error when running

Sounds more like wrong perms on the sound devices in /dev. Is your user in the
audio group, or whatever it's called on your box?

Ok digging deaper... I was always trying to run the session as
su myuser -c "asterisk -fn"

This does not seem to work.

If I login as myuser and run "asterisk fn" it worked... I got a lot of
crackly noise that I normally dont have
but it worked.

Any thoughts on why I cannot run the command as 'su myuser -c "asterisk
-fn"' ?

Thanks

If the problem is a permission thing I?d confirm that.

Run Asterisk as root and see if the problem goes away.

If so then you?ll have to work your way through devices and drivers and check
who owns them and is able access them.

I?d also try temporarily disabling SELinux to see if that helps.

As with the first option this would be temporary - go back to running Asterisk
as myuser or whatever and reenable SELinux regardless of the outcome.
