Each time this happens, you'll see a message > "socket(): Address family not supported by protocol" Ugh... I thought I had solved this, as I wasn't seeing the messages when testing my change. But I just had a phone call and saw the pulseaudio message again, even with my --disable-sound hack. I also tried giving the command-line arg directly to the google plugin and it won't accept this gnome argument (even though the browser does). SO I'm not sure what I was seeing the first time, and sorry for reporting on false success. Is there an environment variable that does the same thing as --disable-sound so that pulseaudio never gets called within a Gnome app? Some KDE apps like 'kmix' have a special envvar for this: KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 Any equivalent envvar in the underlying gnome libraries to disable pulse and go straight to ALSA?
