I think this is intended behaviour see pulseaudio --exit-idle-time=SECS or check /etc/pulse/daemon.conf: ; allow-exit = yes ; exit-idle-time = 20 on an embedded system, I'd rather use --system > I have also tried to run pulseaudio with --system parameter.

PulseAudio tries to allocate 64MB per default I think, maybe too much; can be configured... regards, p. -- Peter Meerwald +43-664-2444418 (mobile)
