Correct me if I'm wrong, but if pulseaudio is installed, I believe you should be able to prevent it from starting by removing the dbus activation files: etc/xdg/ etc/xdg/autostart/ etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop (unless pulse has some other way of auto-starting the daemon) Cheers, Sander
