Hi, First of all, pulse is looking great generally - on my office PC it works beautifully, however I've had lots of problems on my home PC. I'm trying to do some diagnosis so I want to stop pulse on Fedora 11 which I installed a couple of days ago. The problem is it keeps respawning and I can't figure out what mechanism is causing it. I've tried "pulseaudio -k", "kill -9 <pulses-pid>", I've moved /etc/alsa/pulse-default.conf out of the way (on the advice of someone on the fedora mailing list. I've looked in /etc/event.d and /etc/init.d to see if I can figure out how pulse is started but I just can't figure it out. It always restarts itself. I'd appreciate any ideas on how to stop it, just so I can do some more investigation into what might be causing my lack of audio. For the record, I've got an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 card. The bug report here is what I seem to be experiencing: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499435 TIA, Chris.
