Autospawn = no would be ineffective. dbus gets in the way. For example if you plug in a new USB interface or even plug headphones in, ubuntu is set up to tell pulse via dbus of these changes so that pulse can change the levels correctly. Dbus will autostart any application it is trying to talk to if it is not running. The only way to keep pulse from starting is to remove the x bit from the file name. I will try it anyway just to be sure, pulse would have to look at who was starting it and decide not to start if it's parent was dbus. That doesn't make sense as dbus is the normal way of starting pulse. A device profile that tells pulse to do software levels only (as it does with jack or other multi-track cards like the ice1712) would probably work better. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
