I can't see anything related to pulseaudio.

However, I guess I know your other distro, IIRC you'
re subscribed to another list, where I'm subscribed too. Yesterday there
was a post to a link that was linked with:

http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/

Too funny they still don't understand that PA doesn't work with some
cards, they still ignore that there are installs without dependencies to
PA and they don't name a sound server that is better and allows to use
several audio apps at the same time too. IOW they still spread lies.

A RME HDSPe AIO doesn't work, with PA.
A vanilla Ubuntu install doesn't need PA. PA only depends to a
meta-package.
Jackd is able to do the job, without making insane adjustments, as PA
does (increasing one volume and decreasing another volume at the same
time, an engineer doing this would lose his job).

However, they claim that ...

"If you need to stop the PulseAudio process completely, execute these
commands:

echo autospawn=no > ~/.pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio -k

If you need PulseAudio back again, remove ~/.pulse/client.conf, then try
to start an application that uses PulseAudio, and it should start
automatically."

Did you test what happens if you stop PA and test your script after
doing this?

Regards,
Ralf

They do, they just don't care. Pulseaudio has several design defects that
make it impossible to do the right thing in a very large number of
situations, and many of them are very common.

No, like everything with "professional" in its name that _deserves_ it,
jackd is intended for anyone that wants something that just works right
every time, and can suffer once thorugh the minor pain of setting it up.

So, give it a try.

It's worse to test it. I'm not aware about the dbus situation for
jack1/jack2 when using it on Debian without X. And IIUC Jude does run
the script by command line, without X.

What Jack, 1 or 2, to use doesn't matter.
This looks like a long todo list, but usually those things don't need to
be set up:
