The "best" solution is probably to define a special runlevel in your
inittab for doing critical audio work. In that runlevel cron and most
of the other system daemons would be inactive. Switching back to your
default runlevel would start them all up again.
The problem with this approach is that various distributions manage
runlevels differently, and it's generally rather clumsy to set up.
