I need *clear* and *working* instruction on how to do this.

I tried:

echo autospawn = no >> ~/.config/pulse/client.conf  #use ~/.pulse/client.conf
on Ubuntu <= 12.10
killall pulseaudio
LANG=C pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time=1 > ~/pulseverbose.log 2>&1

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

Result: I don´t hear any sound in PlaneShift at all anymore after this. Also
KDE systemsettings display "Pulseaudio-Server" instead of the sound device. It
seems to me that new Pulseaudio does not get registered with desktop session.


I tried:

merkaba:/etc/pulse> diff -u daemon.conf daemon.conf-debug

But information still landed in syslog and was in german as well.

but PlaneShift client did not seem to use Pulseaudio at all with it. It seems
it needs the "--start".

Before that I also tried with "--start" but it just put the first line on
daemon startup into that logfile and then no more.

Really, this *got* to be easier for users to help debugging PulseAudio issues.

I will now have one last try:

use LANG=C in start-pulseaudio-kde and daemon.conf with verbose + leave it to
syslog and grep pulseaudio related stuff out from it.

*sigh* (sorry if this sounds like a rant, but really, this took more more than
one hour without any usable log so far).
