I can confirm that /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio does indeed forcibly start pulseaudio when starting a Gnome session. The comments of the file even indicate this was the intent.
This configuration file should respect other settings indicating whether pulseaudio should or should not start. There are at least a few applications that do not work well with pulse audio. These applications however do seem to work fine with alsa dmix. As such alsa dmix is my preferred configuration at this time. I don't enjoy having to dig through configuration files to override a forced default. -- pulseaudio deamon can not be stopped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
