While we are on it: Who needs AppAmor and similar stuff for a Desktop computer + DAW? This is the only real disadvantage of "Linux distros", not of Linux in general, distros tend to include useless software. Btw. I tend to migrate back to KDE, so I don't have to think about pulseaudio. 64 Studio is fine when using KDE and every other distro I tested is ok for multimedia when using KDE, there are only issues when using GNOME. 64 Studio seems to be the only distro were using GNOME isn't a problem. I received a number of mails saying, that pulseaudio will be ok for all users in the future. Why is it a basic for GNOME today? I guess everyone of us discussed it in the past, so we shouldn't start a flame war now ;). Some people are fine with pulseaudio, other people aren't fine with it and a lot of people just resigned to the fact that pulseaudio is used when running GNOME. Searching the audio mailing lists a lot of people aren't fine with pulseaudio, but they put up with it. I do not want this, my bad ... a moment ago I'm able to use Linux for making music, because 64 Studio 3.0-beta is the first installation making this possible for my hardware ... I need to compile some applications to be satisfied and I still have trouble with external MIDI devices, but I'm able to make music. Btw. I'm also able to make music using Suse plus pulseaudio, but on Suse I'm not able to use flashplayer and other usual applications. GNOME's pulseaudio might be ok for some people, but it often is a problem. Pulseaudio is an argument to use KDE instated of GNOME.
