I wonder if this works

#!/bin/bash
#Kill PulseAudio and PulseAudio Device Chooser

pulseaudio --kill
killall padevchooser

Stuff like that is discussed since years and often killing PA shipped
with issues for some users.

As Phillip already mentioned, the lib PA doesn't harm.

A serious question. Why is PA made a dependency by the package builders?
For Arch a lot of things has to be installed by us manually. Why not
handle it for PA the same way? GNOME3 isn't broken without PA. I already
tested this.
