I think you can disable the sound plugin of g-s-d using dconf (org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.sound.active). I don't know if that will affect also to the GDM greeter, but it is worth trying it. As a last resort you could also try renaming "/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/libsound.so" and see what happens. -- Rodrigo
