I thought I got pulseaudio disabled like I used to but every time I execute the espeak command or run emacspeak, it keeps using pulseaudio and killing ALSA until it releases it. Even paplay works but I have /etc/pulseaudio/default.pa completely commented out and stupid pulse keeps rering its ugly head. Any other ideas on how to stop it in its tracks? I could uninstall the pulseaudio package but it is required by gnome-settings-daemon. This is all on a current up to date Arch Linux box. Everything seemed to be fine until I gave pulseaudio a try yesterday. Now things seem to be a mess around here. Any ideas?
