That was the whole point of my moving from Squeeze to
Wheezy. But I seem to have taken a step backward.
Do you think I should submit another bug report, this time about
pulseaudio? I don't understand why an "upgrade" is necessary.
Maybe I should go back to Squeeze; I still have the set of
DVDs.
Do you perhaps know of a Debian expert who really knows about
how sound works, on Wheezy?
Again, thanks for your E-mail.
