Ok, so I add or remove a line in one of the /etc/pulse files.  What do I have 
to kill and restart to make it re-read those config files and put the effect 
into service?  Is a restart of X sufficient?

Right now, the only thing working is the kde sound effects.  Any other source, 
like a new video with sound, is pure white noise at 120 db above the kde sound 
effects.  Since I like to tour the news sites of an evening, I'll remove what 
I installed and reboot in about an hour if no helpful advice seems to be 
forthcoming.

Also, I tried to join the pulse mailing list, but FF had a whole cow over the 
https certificate, and I have never seen such a strong warning from FF before 
so I didn't ok it.  Could someone advise Lennert that his sites ssh 
certificate is dead or compromised?

Thanks Joonas.
