First i visited others, then the tab with above URL. Each time the activity increase happened exactly when i went to that tab. But now i repeated the experiments and found that the effect is not so clearly to reproduce. There seems to be a significant preference for Gitlab sites to trigger pulseaudio's activity, but i also had system sessions where i could not reproduce it at all. Even worse, i had one occasion where https://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/ triggered the activity after i had hopped over several other URLS, including https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/brasero/-/issues/357 https://salsa.debian.org/groups/optical-media-team/-/activity Of course i waited the due time after each hop so that changes of activity would become visible in top. The cherry on the cake was firefox-esr starting up with the tab that shows https://askubuntu.com/questions/1436035/xorriso-image-remaster-unable-to-find-a-medium-containing-a-live-filesystem-ub/1436235#1436235 and immediately triggering the activity of pulseaudio. At that point i concluded that the only way to permanently control this madness is systemctl --global disable pulseaudio.service pulseaudio.socket Have a nice day :) Thomas
