Interesting.
I had already found a directory called ~/.config/autostart but
there was no hint of anything pulseaudio related in there. Then I
followed your suggestion and disabled its autostart and searched for
recently changed files. Now there is a file called
~/.config/pulseaudio.desktop. That is backward to what I would have
expected and if I enable pulseaudio again, the file is removed.
The pulseaudio.desktop file contains this:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=PulseAudio Sound System
Comment=Start the PulseAudio Sound System
Exec=start-pulseaudio-x11
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
GenericName=
Name[en_US]=PulseAudio Sound System
Comment[en_US]=Start the PulseAudio Sound System
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false
/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 is a script:
<comments snipped>
set -e
# Exit without running pulseaudio daemon if this is a remote desktop
session [ -n "$PULSE_SERVER" ] && exit 0
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --start "$@"
if [ x"$DISPLAY" != x ] ; then
/usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-publish "display=$DISPLAY"
> /dev/null
if [ x"$SESSION_MANAGER" != x ] ; then
/usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp "display=$DISPLAY
session_manager=$SESSION_MANAGER" > /dev/null fi
fi
So my remaining questions are what reads the pulseaudio.desktop file
and how does pulseaudio get started if it does not exist.
