Use CVE-2014-3970.
> PulseAudio usually gets respawned anyway.
Apparently there are realistic circumstances in which respawning
doesn't happen (possibly a zero value of conf->daemonize or the
"User-configured server at %s, refusing to start/autospawn." case in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tree/src/daemon/main.c).

The scope of CVE-2014-3970 does not include any infinite loop that
might be discovered later.
