I noticed after doing apt-get dist-upgrade that pulseaudio was using 100% of one of the CPUs on my server. I can stop it but it restarts after after rebooting. Why would this have been installed and what would be the safest way to get rid of it? I was going to use apt-get autoremove pulseaudio but then it said it was going to install other packages:
The following extra packages will be installed:
gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-data gnome-settings-daemon
libgnome-control-center1 libgoa-backend-1.0-1 libtelepathy-glib0
Suggested packages: libcanberra-gtk-module metacity x-window-manager
The following packages will be REMOVED:
indicator-sound libcanberra-pulse pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-x11
unity-control-center unity-control-center-signon
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gnome-control-center gnome-control-center-data gnome-settings-daemon libgnome-control-center1 libgoa-backend-1.0-1 libtelepathy-glib0
