Hi
I just discovered that I had pulseaudio running on my arch laptop :-( I
simply did a "sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio", but is there a better
way? Needless to say, if I uninstall it, other stuff needed also
uninstalls...

Not sure if anything auto-starts the daemon but here is usual
trick for daemons:
# service pulseaudio stop
# update-rc.d pulseaudio remove

Most distros have pulseaudio split up the way it is intended by the authors
itself: libpulse which apps use trying to contact the pulse-daemon and
pulseaudio containing the daemon itself.
Thus uninstalling the daemon doesn't force removal of the apps using it
"just"
for sound.
When I say "most" I mean at least debian/ubuntu.
Other than that, the best solution would be to place your own empty,
executable bash-script called "pulseaudio" in bin to overwrite the execution
and hope that the init-script doesn't have a fixed path. Otherwise you have to
remove/disable/overwrite the distributions executable after every
reinstall/update...
Hope that helps,
Arnold
