By default PulseAudio exits its daemon after 20 seconds of idle time:
# Terminate the daemon when idle and the specified number of seconds passed.
; exit-idle-time = 20
1) Why is that?
2) After it exited, how do I automatically start PulseAudio again afterwards on demand?
3) Is it relevant for battery life? Or can I simply set exit-idle-time to "-1" and be done with it?
Thanks in advance!

1) To save battery, I believe (instead of holding the device open)
2) You shouldn't have to do anything, it'll autostart when requested
3) See 1)

Interesting. It does not auto-start for me. I am using xmonad, I am running dbus as a daemon (I suppose because the wiki told me) and I put "pulseaudio --start" in .xinitrc.
What am I missing?
