How can I restart pulseaudio after killing it?
I can't find anything like "service pulseaudio
restart/status/whatever." Must I reboot F-12?

Please, notice this works as a non-root user:

Killing pulseaudio:

$ pulseaudio -k

Starting pulseaudio daemon:

$ pulseaudio -D

Greetings.



I tried as user:

[bobg@box6 ~]$ pulseaudio -D
E: main.c: Daemon startup failed.

Then as su:

[root@box6 bobg]# pulseaudio -D
W: main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless
--system is specified).

Then did:

[root@box6 bobg]# pulseaudio -D --system
W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-exit not set!
W: main.c: Running in system mode, but --disallow-module-loading not set!
N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling SHM mode!
N: main.c: Running in system mode, forcibly disabling exit idle time!

I finally gave up and rebooted but there has to be a better way?

I am having a problem with my µprocessor usage going to 100% and not
recovering until I kill pulseaudio. That's how I got into this problem
and it may be due to another program "Qtel" that requires audio and is
running when the problem arises.

Thanks.

Bob
