Not everyone uses distros that ship Pulse by default. In fact, not everyone uses Linux. This is especially true for CDE, as it has what one might call a rather "traditional" UNIX install base by virtue of its history. Plus, the sorts of people that are likely to run a decidedly "retro" desktop nowadays are not necessarily the sorts that are fans of pulseaudio... :) In other words, pulse is standard on some of the platforms that CDE runs on, uncommon on others, and virtually unheard of on others still. So I'd like to voice my support for Isaac's idea; integration between CDE and pulse is not something that should be done directly. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.
