Restarts should only be done on extreme daemon misbehavior, which is a bug that should be fixed, or by the real-time threads over-using their allocated budget and thus killed by rtkit to maintain overall system usability. Please explain your use case more thoroughly .. Morover, the PulseAudio communication protocol, mostly over the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse/native unix socket, requires several handshake commands before sending audio packets from client to the server or vice versa. AFAIK there is no state persisting across daemon reboots. Regards, -- Darwish http://darwish.chasingpointers.com
