That would probably work, but I finally searched for the
right phrase and got a hit on "pacmd". Looks like I can
feed it commands to set the profile of some card to "off"
so I can use that card for other things for a while.

That's less drastic than completely turning off pulse
(but time will tell if it works as well :-).
