Pulseaudio still has some deficiencies, such has lacking support for TrueHD or DTS-MA, preventing use of Dolby Pro Logic II, etc. Refer to [[PulseAudio ]]for some further explanation. Actually, the only real advantage Pulseaudio offers is non-exclusive use of the audio subsystem, in cases where you'd like (for example) desktop sounds or other apps to co-exist with Kodi. Since this guide is strongly focused on creating a standalone Kodi environment, Pulseaudio makes little sense to utilize. Given its deficiencies and lack of countervailing advantages, I'd recommend continuing to not use it. | |||
Why would you want GDM to be installed? Again, the idea behind this guide is to create a standalone, lightweight installation of Kodi with minimal additional requirements.

Guide rewrite
I am going to be revising a few sections soon.
- Firewall: You can leave it enabled and just open the following ports: TCP: 1151, 8080, and UDP: 1900, 9777
- Pulseaudio: Kodi is fully functional with pulseaudio installed and enabled.
- Systemd service: If you have GDM installed (and autologin enabled) you do not need any of the service script or other changes so it makes this guide much more simple. As the old saying goes: Keep It Simple Stupid.
