Is it possible for me to just kill the PulseAudio server when I'm starting certain applications, or force them to use ALSA? > Robert: if you're using Gnome, run gnome-volume-control.

Right now, I'm running LXDE, but I do have gnome-alsamixer installed, and all of those are at max. Considering this is little more than a graphical frontend for the command line alsamixer, I'm thinking you mean the applet. But the package gnome-applets pulls in 357 MB of dependencies. Is there a simple way to do the same from the command line? I have plenty of hard disk space - it just seems like a huge waste.
