[GTALUG] Command doesn't work in script but works on command line?

[Jim Ruxton]

Ok, Something I just discovered is if I disable the soundcard for 
pulseaudio in pavucontrol. Clicking on the script works. I still find it 
strange however that this is not the case if I run the script on the 
command line. It runs regardless.
