When logging out of a MATE session, the user pulseaudio process is not terminated. For example: [pilcher@ian ~]$ who pilcher pts/2 2016-03-25 11:29 (172.31.250.5) [pilcher@ian ~]$ ps aux | grep pulse pilcher 313 0.0 0.0 562044 12556 ? S<l 11:27 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
I can't reproduce this with f23. If i logged out from mate-session and i see the login from lightdm (default for Mate), i see any process of pulsaudio in console if using 'ps aux | grep pulse'. Do you use gdm as display manager?

I use lightdm (with the lightdm-kde greeter). I haven't been able to figure out how mate-session starts pulseaudio or how it's supposed to terminate it, so I haven't been able to make any progress on debugging this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
pulseaudio-module-x11 itself starts pulse via session management, of course. /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop , what you see in autostart (mate-session-properties) You can disable this entry + killing pulse, After a re-login pulse shouldn't start.
Haven't seen this in a while. Closing.
