Hello,

Thanks for your report!

So it complains that there is no user called "pulse". This is weird,
because in package/pulseaudio/pulseaudio.mk, we have:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_PULSEAUDIO_DAEMON),y)
define PULSEAUDIO_USERS
        pulse -1 pulse -1 * /var/run/pulse - audio,pulse-access
endef

So, the pulse user should exist. Could you:

 - Check output/target/etc/passwd and see if a "pulse" user exists.

 - Make sure that this issue can be reproduced after doing a complete
   rebuild, i.e "make clean all".

Thanks!

Thomas
