Yes.

Insert
Exec=sudo /usr/bin/killall pulseaudio
into the desktop file.

But to get that working you will need a sudoers entry. Add a file into /etc/sudsers.d (example in this directory) and run update-sudoers.
Or, if you do not know how to do, just install sudsers. But this is security mess as it will allow user to execute every binary to be executed with root rights!

Re: Pulse Audio battery drain (occationally)
 
thanks.

also i found another way with queen beecon widget:

written killall pulseaudio in a file script.sh

then given to the queen beecon widget the command:

echo sh "path to script.sh" | root

btw is not clear still why the pulseaudio stays active and use cpu after phone calls...

Re: Pulse Audio battery drain (occationally)
 
still investigating the issue with pulseaudio using cpu after closing a call

"powertop" , before killing pulseaudio, shows:

37% interrupt : DMA
34% interrupt : i2c_omap
21% interrupt : gp timer
2% i interrupt : mmc1

and "top" shows cpu usage around 24% for /usr/bin/pulseaudio -- system --high-priorit (user=pulse)

killing tonegend is not killing pulseaudio like said in similar bugs on bugs.maemo.org

should i open a new bug?
it needs other info like strace -p pidof pulseaudio?

i tried to run from term
ls -thl /proc/`pidof pulseaudio`/fd

while pulseaudio stuck after a call

and i got this

does it give any clues?

Re: Pulse Audio battery drain (occationally)
 
[problem solved?]

maybe not but i have strong feelings that the issue is linked to sociality running in background.

if i activate "keep running in background" in sociality, i can notice pulseaudio stuck after a call, but if i deactivate that option, no issue after several calls

when sociality is running in background, you can see /usr/bin/sociality running via top in xterm or conky

having sociality running in background also generate issue with audio volume: for example if you have audio volume at medium level, after receiving a notification from sociality running in background (with the iphone-like sound), the audio volume automatically increase to high level (even if you are using earphones, that is bad)

somebody can confirm?
