For instance, ps -el gave

and the relevant part of the output of ps -ejH is

I also did an lsof to see what files that process had open, and a lot of
them seem to have to do with sound, e.g., things
like /usr/bin/pulseaudio, /usr/lib/libsamplerate, /usr/lib/libsndfile.so,
etc. (plus, of course, a lot of general stuff like libc, libm, libhal,
libusb,...).

So what is this exe and where is it located on the system?

Thanks,

George



if you do a 'ps -ejf' on that process id, you can see that it's
/usr/bin/pulseaudio


not sure what 'exe' means, though

It's the Pulse Audio sound server.
