As a user, I think the case is similar to /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/someother.list Particular configurations for particular goals are in a separate file. Someone in the LAU list mentioned other examples and gave better reasons. Anyway, the user does not have to bother anymore with editing a system file. More authoritative reasons are here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=507248 I like when Steve writes "common doesn't mean correct".

So I > really recommend to check out, if pasuspender does the trick In my case, pasuspender does the trick but I don't want a pulseaudio daemon running at all. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation#Pulse%20Audio recommends creating a *~/.pulse/client.conf* with "autospawn = no" (instead of editing the system wide /etc/pulse/client.conf as I suggested) and then put "pulseaudio -k" as a "Startup Application".
