Thanks, that seems to allow it to run without sound :-)

Now, next question, is there a way that once FG is running, having given 
it --disable-sound, that I can trigger the sound manager to kick in and 
re-enable sound.  The Sound Configuration dialog doesn't do anything 
when --disable-sound is given (looks like it should, but it doesn't).

Reason is, that I suspect this may be a more reliable way to get 
pulseaudio working, I noticed yesterday that if I let FG start up using 
Alsa->Pulse that the sound quality is all broken and unusable but it 
doesn't hang, then I can use the sound configuration dialog to switch to 
pulse and it usually works properly for all the aircraft I tried (where 
starting FG to directly use Pulse at startup, hangs more often than not 
if not using the C172 (even then, sometimes)). 

So I'm thinking that this could be a workaround, if a delay can be 
enacted so that the sound manager isn't brought "online" until FG is 
otherwise running and ready to go.
