Today I installed the latest version of Eclipse, Android SDK and AVD plugin. But I have a tedious problem. When I want to quit the emulator (with the X button), the emulator freezes and I can’t click anything there anymore. Obviously it has something to do with the sound, because when I execute “pulseaudio -k” in console, the emulator quits.
Due to this fact, I tried the following to let the emulator at least run properly:
In Preferences->Android->Launch -> Default Emulator option -> -noaudio
and
Run Configuration -> Android Application -> [Application] -> Target -> Addidtional Emulator Command Line Options -> -noaudio
But nothing helps. Emulator stays frozen. Actually I want audio to run, but switching it off doesn’t work either. So what can I do?
It’s this problem described here:

There is a workaround so that you can quit the emulator:
Set in your virtual devices “Audio Playback Support” and “Audio recording support” to “no”.
