noted that PulseAudio was in BLFS, and I was curious if anyone's experimented with a pulseaudio system.
I usually prefer to keep my system simple. alsa only. and I was curious what it brings to the table. I have been thinking it may be neat having the ability to send audio to any other computer (speakers in the living room perhaps) My understanding is that pulseaudio is a network based sound system, where you have multiple input's (programs or actual inputs) and multiple outputs (multiple soundcards, locally or network). I wonder how wrong I am the above... Either way, never ever did install the sound daemons before, and just curious how it works, and what benefits it offers. Never used gnome/kde, other then experimenting with KDE4's eye candy a few years back. just simple openbox, lxdepanel, xorg. usually add on firefox, urxvt, gimp, blender, qemu, openoffice, and xine. I imagine, just like my experiments with KDE4, I'll find it has little benefit for my use. Also worried about the extra bloat it'll add to my system. -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
