I had already found a directory called ~/.config/autostart but there was no hint of anything pulseaudio related in there. Then I followed your suggestion and disabled its autostart and searched for recently changed files. Now there is a file called ~/.config/pulseaudio.desktop. That is backward to what I would have expected and if I enable pulseaudio again, the file is removed. The pulseaudio.desktop file contains this: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Name=PulseAudio Sound System Comment=Start the PulseAudio Sound System Exec=start-pulseaudio-x11 Terminal=false Type=Application Categories= GenericName= Name[en_US]=PulseAudio Sound System Comment[en_US]=Start the PulseAudio Sound System X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 is a script: <comments snipped> set -e # Exit without running pulseaudio daemon if this is a remote desktop session [ -n "$PULSE_SERVER" ] && exit 0 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start "$@" if [ x"$DISPLAY" != x ] ; then /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-publish "display=$DISPLAY" > /dev/null if [ x"$SESSION_MANAGER" != x ] ; then /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-x11-xsmp "display=$DISPLAY session_manager=$SESSION_MANAGER" > /dev/null fi fi So my remaining questions are what reads the pulseaudio.desktop file and how does pulseaudio get started if it does not exist.
