I think you're looking for "pasuspender" which will suspend pulseaudio until whatever you run completes. The usage is a bit odd. I use it for "The Dark Mod" (a Thief fan game based on the Doom3 engine). In my launcher script I use it as follows: pasuspender -- ./tdmlauncher.linux The double hyphen is important!
