If pulseaudio is starting sound capture at startup, then it is either a pulseaudio miss-configuration or a bug there. I fail to understand why pulseaudio would start capturing sound from a V4L audio at startup.
I think that this is not the default for pulseaudio, though, as you're the only one complaining about that, and I never saw such behavior in the time I was using pulseaudio here.
I don't know enough about pulseaudio to help on this issue, nor I'm using it currently, so I can't test anything pulsaudio-related.
Lennart,
Could you please help us with this issue?
ALSA doesn't really have a enumeration API which would allow us to get device properties without opening and configuring a device. In fact, we can't even figure out whether a device may be opened in duplex or simplex without opening it.
And that's why we have to probe audio devices, even if it sucks.
