How to kill pulseaudio to play pSX in 9.10?

[kirbyboy]

Hi, i'm trying to kill pulseaudio to play pSX emulator, but every time i kill pulseaudio, pulseaudio restarts by itself.
I even use a script, but it doesn't work. This is what i use:

#!/bin/bash
# A script to disable pulseaudio, run pSX, then renable pulseaudio

gksu /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop
sleep 1
gksu killall pulseaudio # Forcefully ends pulseaudio if still running
sleep 1
exec ./pSX
sleep 1
gksu /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start

gksu /etc/init.d/pulseaudio start

doesn't this mean that at the end of your script you restart pulseaudio?

wouldn't it be easier if you just:

ALT+F2

killall pulseaudio

before starting PSX manually?

Before trying that script, i tried to kill it manually, but it has the power of the resurrection.

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/sound/active false

pkill pulseaudio

I had to add this line:

autospawn = no

in ~/.pulse/client.conf
and then
killall pulseaudio
to stop pulse-audio from restarting automatically. I can now play warzone2100 and glest with sound.

Adding autospawn = no in ~/.pulse/client.conf(i had to create the file) has worked perfectly, thanks.
