[pulseaudio-discuss] Stopping pulse in Fedora 11

[Chris]

Hi,

First of all, pulse is looking great generally - on my office PC it
works beautifully, however I've had lots of problems on my home PC.
I'm trying to do some diagnosis so I want to stop pulse on Fedora 11
which I installed a couple of days ago. The problem is it keeps
respawning and I can't figure out what mechanism is causing it.

I've tried "pulseaudio -k", "kill -9 <pulses-pid>", I've moved
/etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf out of the way (on the advice of someone
on the fedora mailing list. I've looked in /etc/event.d and
/etc/init.d to see if I can figure out how pulse is started but I just
can't figure it out. It always restarts itself.

I'd appreciate any ideas on how to stop it, just so I can do some more
investigation into what might be causing my lack of audio.

For the record, I've got an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 card. The bug
report here is what I seem to be experiencing:

TIA, Chris.
