I'll speak for myself. I don't like pulse, really. I don't. Having an audio layer over an audio layer, to me, sucks. And I don't see any advantages on having it (well, maybe is simpler to configure, I may give you that)
My system has an onboard ATI chipset for audio and video (has HDMI), and a discrete NVidia 550 (also has hdmi). I'm using 2 monitors, one with DVI and the other with DVI->VGA. I'm using the onboard sound card (has 6 plugs). And i DON'T have anything related to pulse installed. In my experience, it is possible to have everything 'just working'. I reinstalled debian wheezy 2 weeks ago, I did not configure alsa and it just works. E has a mixer module, it recognises both sound cars (right click on gadget -> preferences) and you may select which channel to default. To me, it was easy to configure it fisrt with 'alsamixer', but then E took that configuration and 'just work'. No pulse audio, no middle layers, E to ALSA. My 2 cents =) PS: from time to time, I use jackd for more serious things, and everything keeps working (when apps like chrome or firefox are not locking on alsa) On Wednesday January 2 2013 07:12:48 Barton escribió: > On 01/01/2013 11:09 PM, Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) wrote: > > On Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:02:00 -0800 Barton <bar...@bcdesignswell.com> said: > > > >> Hello all, > >> Great work on the 0.17 Release! > >> My setup: > >> e17 from the Arch Linux repo = enlightenment17 0.17.0-1 > >> with the standard theme. > >> > >> I managed to get sound output from VLC and XBMC over HDMI. > >> On my desktop, however, the Mixer control recognizes my GeForce 210 card > >> as HDA NVidia but doesn't populate the controls.
