I have no idea, really.  I can describe what it looks like, though.

I've commented out everything having to do with pulseaudio from my
.xsession file, so nothing that I do when I login or when I start X
touches audio.

When I open an application that uses audio, I get one of these guys:

unicorn:~$ ps auxw | grep pulse

unicorn:~$ systemctl --user status pulseaudio

It just chews up the CPU, doesn't it?  I guess the Pulse guys can afford
to be lazy about keeping the thing reined in, given how powerful current
PCs are.  Hell, even between those two commands, it used up 3 seconds of
CPU, and I'm not even playing any audio right now!
