Well the PID of Xorg on my system is $ ps -ef | grep Xorg root 16848 16841 0 Aug22 tty1 00:27:53 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-e1NCi1/database -nolisten tcp vt1 so if Xorg started pulseaudio then I would expect the PPID of pulseaudio to be 16848 but it's not. $ ps -ef | grep pulseaudio steve 30603 1 0 Aug23 ? 00:07:25 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog The PPID is 1 which is the PID of init. $ ps -ef | grep init root 1 0 0 Aug13 ? 00:00:02 /sbin/init > > So where does it get started? > > If you are using the default Fedora setup, you have your own version > of pulse started when you log in.
