Unfortunately this doesn't seem very viable. If the pulseaudio daemon stops for any reason (a bug?), then the daemon will not be restarted, leaving the user with a possibly broken audio system. Unless we have a way to ensure that the daemon will be restarted if it crashes, then I don't see how disabling autospawn actually improves things. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
