run this in a terminal

echo autospawn = no >> ~/.pulse/client.conf
killall pulseaudio

then

sudo apt-get install valgrind

then you can do something like this

valgrind --log-file=pulselog.txt --leak-check=full -v pulseaudio

then you can do this to restore pulseaudio settings afterwards

To return your system to a clean state again, edit ~/.pulse/client.conf with your favorite editor and remove the line "autospawn = no". If the file is now empty, you can just as well delete it. Then log out and log in again
