Title:
Pulseaudio should be easier to disable
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
Expired
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.
