(actually only > requires updating enlightenment deb) it's amazing how many people have issues with pulse. i have a suspicion that its some insanely vocal minority who just don't want to investigate and/or fix and would rather throw everything out. it reminds me of the people who refuse to use x11 many years back citing all sorts of reasons. i have never had somethnig not work with pulse. except once - my chromebook 2.which is an arm laptop device. i haven't spent any special effort choosing hardware or distros to make it work. it has just worked (tm). the chromebook 2 i can understand as its whole audio setup is odd when you dig through the low level mixers. it's got like 100 knobs to twiddle and after about an hour of swizzling them, i finally got sound out of the machine. pulse worked then btw - it was the same problem were i to use pulse or not. the low level mixers were just not set up right to produce audio and i had to fiddle with the alsa mixer levels anyway. once fiddled and saved, pulse works. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!
