Sequence of events is as follows:- 1. Start pulseaudio (I comment out every HAL/alsa-related line in /etc/pulse/*.pa, so pulse just starts with a null sink if it hasn't yet). Using the --start means if pulse is already started nothing will be done (use current server). 2. Check for modules needing to be unloaded. Just pactl with some greps and sed, then pactl unload-module. 3. Check for jackd (this may need to be changed once jack2 comes out, I've been monitoring the jackdbus conversations and things are in real flux there), kill/start if needed. 4. Load the modules which need loading. Please note there's probably some wrapping problems with this code. Please check it out, should not be hard to figure out what to do.
