So, you should look at why pulseaudio is respawning so quickly, I would assume because it is crashing on startup.
First stop it autospawning by editing /etc/pulse/client.conf and adding "autospawn = no". Then stop any running pulseaudio with the "pulseaudio -k" command. The run pulseaudio using "pulseaudio --start --daemonize=false -v" and see if there are any interesting messages output.
