Comment 76 for bug 190754

Jery Wang, I don't think you understand the situation. "pulseaudio -k" doesn't make pulseaudio do anything differently. It turns pulseaudio off completely. The "-k" stands for "kill". So asking to "incorporate this into pulseaudio" makes no sense. Turning off pulseaudio might make it sound better, but you also lose all the features of pulseaudio (like streaming over a network I guess), so I don't think the people in charge are going to make that the default.
