If the machine is purpose built for tracking and studio recording, has no

network connection, etc. why disable pulse instead of not installing it or

removing it? sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio works too. Pulse, for what it

is designed to do, works pretty good... for professional audio, jackd is

much better. Pick your tools for the job. The stuff in the middle like

audacity, which is painful with jack, the two can be bridged.... but not

without issues.
