I've used chmod 000 in the past when I couldn't find where something
was initialising but updates will reset the permissions and using
immutability might make pacman error and die.

Is there a way to tell pacman to hold a package like pulseaudio back, I
guessed and failed to hold the linux kernel back (I use LTS-grsec) in
pacman.conf and haven't got around to looking into it yet.
