Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) reached end-of-life on April 30, 2011.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545854 Title: Pulseaudio should be easier to disable Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu/Karmic || Mint Helena Pulseaudio can not be stopped by deactivating it in the startup manager. If you manage to get it stopped it'll break the system. 1. If I deactivate the PA daemon within the start-up manager. The start-up manager shows PA deactivated though it is still running. This I consider a bug. You can set manually autospawn=no in /etc/pulse/client.conf or by adding a to ~/.pulse/client.conf containing the autospawn=no parameter. This configuration IMO should be done automatically, when disabling the PA daemon in the startup-manager. Easiest would be to set it generally to NO by default. However -- the main issue is that if you manage to stop and disable PA as described above you're catching nasty side effects: 1. Your Gnome Volume Control disappears 2. Your Sound Properties are no longer accessible in preferences. It'll hang up with message: Waiting for sound system to respond. That'll be it. I even made sure - before I switched PA off - that no PA configurations were active in the sound preferences. ( these might be problems with these apps. You'll find posts in the web saying compiling these with disable-pulse will solve the issue - no idea if this are real problem with these apps.) 3. Further if you turn off PA ,care must be taken of a. hardcoded dead PA bodies in e.g. gconf-editor ( gstreamer shows still PA entries) and b. hardcoded alsa configs in /usr/share/pulse/pulse- alsa.conf. This one must be edited to avoid that PA becomes default audio device! I couldn't find a different way to disable it. To me it seems that the PA integration needs a careful review of how it is integrated into the OS.
