So, you should look at why pulseaudio is respawning so quickly, I would assume because
it is crashing on startup.

First stop it autospawning by editing /etc/pulse/client.conf and adding "autospawn = no".

Then stop any running pulseaudio with the "pulseaudio -k" command.

The run pulseaudio using "pulseaudio --start --daemonize=false -v" and see if there
are any interesting messages output.

Thanks,

James
