I wonder if this works #!/bin/bash #Kill PulseAudio and PulseAudio Device Chooser pulseaudio --kill killall padevchooser Stuff like that is discussed since years and often killing PA shipped with issues for some users. As Phillip already mentioned, the lib PA doesn't harm. A serious question. Why is PA made a dependency by the package builders? For Arch a lot of things has to be installed by us manually. Why not handle it for PA the same way? GNOME3 isn't broken without PA. I already tested this. - Ralf PS: I can't see any rant in any of my mails regarding to this thread.
