Pulse audio can't add 2nd sound card

[hairybiker]

I am trying to add my Logitec Music Anywhere USB transmitter to my Mint system (Gloria 32bit) it works fine in my other desktop (Ubuntu 9.04 64bit)
When I plug it in I get:-

Jun 20 14:14:40 Duo pulseaudio[23487]: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt', PolicyKit refuse to grant us the requested privileges and we have no increase RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits.

Which would suggest that I need to be a member of pulse-rt to get it to work.
Question is WHY?

I have added myself to the group but not logged off yet as I have tasks running that I don't want to kill, so will update this after I have logged off/on again and see if it works.

ok logged off/on no difference, rebooted no difference.

Now no error from pulseaudio but no sound out on the music anywhere either, and it is not appearing in the pulseaudio manager screen as a device.

As an aside I can't get audacious to play either, it just sits there, no error if started from the command line.
