Debugging pulseaudio when autostarted by gnome or kde

[Ahmed Kamal]

Yes, the dies in flames after wakeup from suspend happens to me too, very
often. And I use KDE. Should there be an autostart mechanism ?!Also, why is
it that after I restart PA, the apps still can't use it, and I have to
restart the apps. This one really sucks.
