After a fresh login - no matter whether I use autospawn = no in /etc/pulse/client.conf or /home/martin/.pulse/client.conf or not at all - I get: martin at merkaba:~> ps aux | grep pulse pulse 21041 0.1 0.0 217932 5568 ?

Except for the low initial volume. Although kmix is set to set the previous volume at startup. Well anyway, I will call it a day for today. Getting this setup straight takes a ridicolous amount of time. Ciao, -- Martin 'Helios' Steigerwald - http://www.Lichtvoll.de GPG: 03B0 0D6C 0040 0710 4AFA B82F 991B EAAC A599 84C7
