temporarily disable pulseaudio in 9.04

[ayu]

Hello,
I think pulseaudio is causing some troubles on my system (a program which should only use 30% of my cpu is now using 70% after "upgrading" to 9.04), and I would like to temporarily disable it before completely removing/uninstalling pulseaudio. In the past, I was able to killall pulseaudio. But when I try that now, it respawns automatically when sound is outputted. I've changed System/Preferences/Sound to alsa for everything already. Is there a way to disable pulseaudio without removing it completely?
Thanks,
Ayu

An easy way to disable PulseAudio is to go into the system monitor and turn off PulseAudio Server. Alsa will then take over.

In the past, I was able to killall pulseaudio. But when I try that now, it respawns automatically when sound is outputted.

If by system monitor and "turn off", you mean stop the process, yes, I've tried that already. The problem is pulseaudio restarts automatically after starting any program that needs sound.

sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop

That do it? (I can't test at the moment unfortunately).

That doesn't do it for me. But I get the message:

ayu@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop
 * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions

What does per-user sessions mean?

This looks like removing pulseaudio - not temporarily disabling it. By the way, could you use quote in the future instead of doing a screenshot of text?

Hm, interesting. Never would have thought such a program exists. I will try that when I have the chance.
