Forgot to mention... any app that tries to talk to pulse via D-bus will
start pulse anyway... and it will auto respawn every time you kill it. I
think the only thing that does this is pavucontrol (started by the sound
icon in systray if you select sound settings.) For your use I would turn
off respawn at least so you can kill it rather than restart. Edit
/etc/pulse/client.conf There is a more correct file to edit/create in
~/.config/pulse/ but I forget what it should be called.

It may say:
; autospawn = yes
add a line right under like
autospawn = no
(the ; is a comment mark)
