Public bug reported:
File /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 ALWAYS loads module module-x11-bell
and uploads audio sample for Pulseaudio if the file
/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg EXISTS in the filesystem.
I have configured only visual bell for everything and therefore any part
of the system that forcibly tries to play any kind of audio for bell
output is simply broken.
At bare minimum, this script should first check if the desktop
environment has been configured to use visual bell instead of audible
bell before loading the module.
