Pulse does have a method of not respawning. Two actually, respawning can be turned off in PA's config. or it has a stop while running this program option. pasuspender is the command. It does leave PA in memory though. The other thing I have thought of is to restart PA with a different config file with nospawn set. Kill it and then restart from the normal config when finished non-pulse work. My big find for me today is that I have had an xrun per minute. Always at the same second of the minute. Didn't seem to matter what the latency was set to. I tried changing irq priorities etc. I tried turning off the power to the wireless... which made it worse... xrun every 5 sec. Rebooted with netmanager turned off. Problem is gone. Jack set to 5.8 ms latency. PA-jack bridge running. Watched a full length movie at full screen. After 3.5 hours there are two xruns. One from movie start (PA port open) and one at movie end (PA port close). This is an Acer aspire one netbook with the atom. I'll have to see how easy it is to turn the network manager off and on on the fly. 5.8ms seems to be the best the hardware can do, jack will not even start with it set lower although I have managed to change it on the fly with guitarix to a lower value.... it did run for a while, but then crashed ;-) -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
