sure?
Never mind, found the problem after googling a lot:

PA does not work without ConsoleKit, yet the ebuild did not pull
CK as
a dep :-/ Will file a bug about it.
As for the results, it's pretty much as I expected: latency cannot
compete with OSS4's vmix. But it isn't worse than stand-alone
ALSA+dmix though, which is surprising.
Another problem: Amarok 2 stopped working. That is, it loads
OK, but
there's no sound at all when playing something with the Xine
backend.
The Gstreamer backend works, but (as always) sound quality sucks
(pops
and crackles). Any way to get Phonon-Xine to work with PA? I
tried
to set "audio.driver:alsa" in ~/.xine/config, but to no avail;
still
no sound.
yeah, with that set it tries to use alsa, not PA.
"audio.driver:pulse" also doesn't work :-/
Why again are you wasting your time with PA?
Because people claim ALSA+Pulse is better than OSS4. So I ought to
actually try it "with a correct setup, unlike the broken Ubuntu
setup",
or else everyone will keep saying I don't know what I'm talking
about.
really? There are people claiming that? ok, everything is better than
OSS4 - but PA? That crap is almost as bad as ESD.
Well if I'm going to use ALSA I need something that gives me
per-application volume control since ALSA is too broken to even provide
that while the rest of the world moved on.
oh yeah, one other thing:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Softvol
ALSA CAN control the volume of every single app. You just choose to
ignore it.
Or you chose not to look for it. Either way, it is there.
Without the inherent brokenness of OSS4
You live in your own little world, Armin. That has nothing to do with
per-app volume. You're as ignorant as ever and I must ask myself why
I choose to waste time talking with you, over and over again.
This discussion is over. Welcome to my killfile.
*plonk*
Well, I'm not Armin but it does talk about per-app volume. This is a
quote from the link above:
"Another usefull thing you can do is control the volume of every
application seperatly, even if the application can't do it on its own."
It's the third sentence on the page. I'm not sure how you could miss
that. I need new glasses and have one eye I'm almost blind in and I saw
that.
You may want to adjust your killfile.
