Description:

Please add this entry

backup=(etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio)

to PKGBUILD of package pulseaudio. This action is needed because sometimes is necessary to disable autostarting of pulseaudio for other DE (other than gnome,kde,xfce). But if user changes this file, after next update of pulseaudio all modifications will be gone.

Additional info:
* pulseaudio 4.0-2
This task depends upon

There's a number of other ways to disable autostart. /etc/pulse/client.conf *is* marked as a backup file and honors autospawn=no. You can also use autospawn=no in ~/.config/pulse/client.conf.

But, /etc/pulse/client.conf cannot prevent autostart with xinitrc.d/pulseaudio script.
/etc/pulse/client.conf can only prevent autostarting daemon on demand of pulseaudio output.

I can confirm this is a problem in some virtual environments such as in xen (Qubes-OS) where pulseaudio is started through a vchan.

The content of etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/pulseaudio starts a conflicting daemon of pulseaudio and we have to remove this script and add an exception in pacman.conf. If we don't do that, sound is broken when pulseaudio is updated.
