Weird!
I guess I don't have a clue about pulse audio, I am running KDE desktop
and xmms did not seem phased at all by killing the process.
I believe xmms uses the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio, so when you kill pulse
it just uses alsa.
I wonder what starts the process since it seems to be just using
energy
for nothing.
