Ugh... I thought I had solved this, as I wasn't seeing the messages

when testing my change. But I just had a phone call and saw the

pulseaudio message again, even with my --disable-sound hack. I also

tried  giving the command-line arg directly to the google plugin and

it won't accept this gnome argument (even though the browser does). SO

I'm not sure what I was seeing the first time, and sorry for reporting

on false success.
Is there an environment variable that does the same thing as

--disable-sound so that pulseaudio never gets called within a Gnome

app? Some KDE apps like 'kmix' have a special envvar for this:

KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1
Any equivalent envvar in the underlying gnome libraries to disable

pulse and go straight to ALSA?
