Have a new install of Kubuntu 18.10 on an Amd 2400G. I am using the 4.19.1 Kernel. In the the /etc/pulse/client.conf file, I have un-commented the autospawn = yes line and changed to no. I have tried at the user and global level with no luck. pulseaudio --kill does not seem to work either. When I open kodi, I still get the pulse audio entries in Audio settings, No Alsa. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Please let me know what logs might be helpful?
Note: I am using Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu because Gnome does not seem to like my Flirc device. PC has 3 hard drives triple booting Libreelec, Kubuntu and Windows 10

I think it's due to the fact that pulseaudio.socket will cause an instance of pulseaudio to spin up no matter what client.conf says.
Buuuuut, I tried to apply the same fix to Fedora 29 and it didn't work so.. I'm not 100% sure.

What you do is not a fix. You will permanently disable pulseaudio ... with that method you can directly remove it if you don't need it.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

it only disables pulse for 1 specific user. So if you run kodi as it's own user and another user for desktop use, this is a valid solution.

This is true if he has multiple users on this system
