 # forked-daapd and Pulseaudio

+This guide was written based on headless Debian Jessie platforms. Most of the

 ## Step 1: Setting up Pulseaudio in system mode with Bluetooth support

 If you want Bluetooth support, you must also configure Pulseaudio to load the
-Bluetooth module. Do this by adding the following to /etc/pulse/system.pa:
+Bluetooth module. First install it (Debian:

 ### Enable Bluetooth

-Now you can:
-- (re)start Pulseaudio with `systemctl restart pulseaudio`
-- enable system mode on boot with `systemctl enable pulseaudio`
-- check that the Bluetooth module is loaded with `pactl list modules short`
+Now you need to make sure that Pulseaudio can communicate with the Bluetooth
+daemon through D-Bus. On Raspbian this is already enabled, and you can skip this
+step. Otherwise do one of the following:
+
+1. Add the pulse user to the bluetooth group: `adduser pulse bluetooth`
+2. Edit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf and change the policy for
+<policy context="default"> to "allow"
+
+Phew, almost done with Pulseaudio! Now you should:
+1. enable system mode on boot with `systemctl enable pulseaudio`
+2. reboot (or at least restart dbus and pulseaudio)
+3. check that the Bluetooth module is loaded with `pactl list modules short`
