Public bug reported:
On my freshly installed system, I need to run pulseaudio in system mode.
Alas, by default, pulseaudio is run in user mode, and is set to respawn,
so that I cannot kill the user process and start pulseaudio in system
mode.
I tried:
1. Editing /etc/pulse/client.conf, setting autospawn = no. This did nothing.
2. Removing the file /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/01-respawn-something. I cannot
even begin to fathom why such a file would exist. Anyway, this did nothing.
3. I removed the file /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio. Why .... Of course, this did
nothing.
4. I removed the file /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop. Why on earth do
you implement four different ways to annoy your users? On the other hand, this
did NOTHING.
User mode is still starting, and respawning is enabled.
What the heck do I have to do to get rid of user mode pulseaudio? Could
you please clean up this clusterfuck?
** Affects: pulseaudio (Ubuntu)
