Definitely not by always starting pulse. I use OSS4 because the ALSA drivers do not work here, so have some strong feelings in that regard. Questions: -When does lightdm start pulse? On start, or on login? (If you stop lightdm from VT1 without logging in, is pulse started?) -Is pulse running as a system daemon or as a user daemon? (look at ps -ef, field 1) -If pusle is a system daemon, is pulse configured to autostart when lightdm starts? (This is my guess for what happens, just because of the nature of upstart...look in /etc/init/) HTH, Isaac Dunham ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
