Sorry, TWM does not start it, its the Firefox, or any other application linked against libpulse* will spawn local user service with stream/dgram socket communication (not TCP!) :-) sockstat | grep pulse XXX pulseaudio 99706 5 stream /home/XXX/.xdg/pulse/native XXX pulseaudio 99706 8 stream -> /tmp/dbus-URrI0C27hY XXX pulseaudio 99706 9 stream /home/XXX/.xdg/pulse/native XXX pulseaudio 99706 11 dgram -> /var/run/log XXX pulseaudio 99706 41 stream -> /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket XXX enlightenm 98712 73 stream -> /home/XXX/.xdg/pulse/native At first I though htop and ps auxd could show process tree with parent, but in my case there was no parent, what seems reasonable because it should work even after its spawning process terminates. Then I found this. Looks like exactly your question and the answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/204522/how-does-pulseaudio-start Personally I like PulseAudio. It gives you lots of felxibility and control over audio per application on the fly. If you do not like it you may want to try remove / lock the package and/or put a link to /use/bin/true in place of the binary? -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
