Hi. Yesterday and today I experienced some problems which were weird. First of all the xdm service was crashing so I disabled it, and started using startx. After that my whole KDE desktop was a pain. The application where to slow, mplayer stopped working and ... Anyway at last I notices that as soon as I start KDE, the sound stops working, so uninstalled the skype and pulseaudio, and everything went back to normal ! Can all this be pulseaudio's fault?
