Ugh... I thought I had solved this, as I wasn't seeing the messages
when testing my change. But I just had a phone call and saw the
pulseaudio message again, even with my --disable-sound hack. I also
tried giving the command-line arg directly to the google plugin and
it won't accept this gnome argument (even though the browser does). SO
I'm not sure what I was seeing the first time, and sorry for reporting
on false success.
Is there an environment variable that does the same thing as
--disable-sound so that pulseaudio never gets called within a Gnome
app? Some KDE apps like 'kmix' have a special envvar for this:
KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1
Any equivalent envvar in the underlying gnome libraries to disable
pulse and go straight to ALSA?
