If pulsaudion is installed it runs as a per user session by default. To prevent starting pulse just $ echo "autospawn=no" >> $HOME/.pulse/client.conf. You can now kill the pulseaudio process with out restarting it again. See alsa /usr/share/doc/pulseaudio/README.Debian. To make this as a default I have this in my shell login script (i.e .zlogin) echo " Shutdown pulseaudio" if [ -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio ]; then if [ "$(pulseaudio --check 2>/dev/null)" = 0 ]; then pulseaudio -k else echo " No pulsedaemon found" fi fi Elimar -- .~. /V\ L I N U X /( )\ >Phear the Penguin< ^^-^^
