Hi I've just tried that , and there is a minor problem as it tries to start the application, which if you
are starting from a shell script is awkward.
However, I found that /usr/bin/pulseaudio --kill does what it says, BUT pulseaudio immediately respawns.
I've looked in pulseaudio --help, but I can't see a switch to disable the respawn.
Is there a clean way of stopping the respawn ?
TIA
