If I start pulseaudio with init.d (and jackd would not be running at this 
point), it busies up the card and jackd will not start. Actually, it did start 
but with an error saying it didn't. No pulse ports appeared. The bare ogg123 
did not sound. Jack will soon crash out, taking pulseaudio with it.

If I start pulseaudio as user, it will fail if jackd is not running. If jackd 
is running, pulse will start. I have the output port but no capture port. The 
bare ogg123 did not sound.

This will only work if that messagb-owned dbus and haldaem-owned hald are 
running. These eat up resources, even at idle, and slow things down. If I kill 
them, pulseaudio will not start again.
