[LAD] Canonical sound position opening

[Forwind info]

Ralf, simply turn off autospawn for pulse if it bothers you that much.

 /etc/pulse/client.conf

the line that looks like
; autospawn=yes

change it to
autospawn = no

This will turn off pulseaudio so as the next time you start up, pulse will
not run and you will need to start it manually from command line if you want
to use it.

IMHO pulse is coming along nicely. There are tweaks to improve its
performance ...
