Is it possible for me to just kill the PulseAudio server when I'm
starting certain applications, or force them to use ALSA?

Right now, I'm running LXDE, but I do have gnome-alsamixer installed,
and all of those are at max. Considering this is little more than a
graphical frontend for the command line alsamixer, I'm thinking you
mean the applet. But the package gnome-applets pulls in 357 MB of
dependencies. Is there a simple way to do the same from the command
line? I have plenty of hard disk space - it just seems like a huge
waste.
Thanks,
