One of these modules is `module-x11-bell`, which makes `pulseaudio` play a sound each time a system bell is emitted (usually by terminal applications, such as bash or vim). This is redundant with gnome-shell, which is also able to handle the system bell (through the gsetting key `org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds`). The gnome system bell is directly configurable by the user (Settings > Sound), so it should be preferred over pulseaudio's own system bell. I suggest to patch the `/usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11`, to avoid loading `start-pulseaudio-x11` if it detects it is running in Gnome Shell (e.g. if GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is set).
