just to add, this exception that's being asked for directly
supports/impacts our ability to deliver "split-greeter" for unity8 on
Ubuntu Touch for Mobile devices. today the greeter is in the unity8
process, however we cannot deliver on a truly secure lock screen until
we split the greeter out from the unity8 shell process. Once we do this,
we can also deliver on other promised features like enabling our pin
entry/password entry screens (which are turned off at the moment as to
not mislead the user on their data truly being secure).

Title:
  FFE: Export data to accounts service

Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To support having a user control of the media player and volume on the
  greeter data needs to be exported by the sound indicator into the
  accounts service so that it can be read by the greeter user. This will
  then be used on the greeter to show the relevant data to the user when
  that user is selected on the greeter.

  A user on the Unity7 desktop today will not see the media players in
  the greeter. They will notice that volume/mute changes that they make
  while using the greeter will effect their session.
