For those who need PA for something, this configuration makes it possible to get audio output from pulseonly apps.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_as_a_minimal_unintrusive_dumb_pipe_to_ALSA I am impressed with the quality of the Arch documentation. These instructions worked for me (on sid) first time, testing minimal output from one ALSA client (Ecasound) and one PA client (mpv). I did notice that there were some pops when playing ALSA and PA players simultaneously. I did not test this configuration further, and do not seek to optimize it. cheers -- Joel Roth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
