Does anyone knows why is pulseaudio being shut down every time X is shut down? why cruel world? why?
man pulse-daemon.conf:
"exit-idle-time= Terminate the daemon after the last client quit and this time in seconds passed. Use a negative value to disable this feature. Defaults to 20."
Ok, I'm afraid this didn't do the trick. I tried with a negative value(-1) and with a big value (100) and it didn't work. This is what's going on: I start a normal tty login in lets say tty2 then I run mplayer to reproduce an mp3 with pulse output which automatically starts the pulseaudio daemon. Then, on tty1 I start xinit (kde). When I close the xinit process (Ctrl+C on tty1) the pulse daemon also dies and my mplayer stops playing :(
PS: I don't want to use pulseaudio system-instance
Good!
