System - Preferences - Startup Applications and then disable everything
for your music production account. Also try disabling as many system
services as possible which you don't need. I use sysv-rc-conf for this.
And maybe my (draft) paper of the workshop I did at LAC2011 on
configuring your system might be of help:

No thanks. That somebody could try contacting me on IRC though, I'm in
#ubuntustudio.

Create a file called client.conf in the .pulse directory of your home
folder with a single line in it:
autospawn = no

Then killing PA with pulseaudio -k should be enough to get rid of PA. Of
course you could disable PA alltogether by uninstalling it but out of
the top of my head this seems simpler than it actually is. This works
for Unutbu 10.04, I've never worked with 10.10 or 11.04 so not sure if
PulseAudio still looks for this specific file and respects its content.

A decent Logitech optical USB mouse should be less than €10,- Not sure
if they sell those at the supermarket though :)

Based on the search results I would assume so.
