ATM, I have to take your word for it Wolfgang. I just replaced the motherboard, memory and video in this box, and audio is about 4th down on the need to fix list for the next day or so. >The power pavucontrol gives you as an audio user is >massive.

Jolly idea, that. blahcontrol seems to be the buzzword these days. >to redhat and it will get fixed. Like Lennart >says: He's not even aware of it because he's on gnome. Help them and >people will benefit from it. And I don't like gnomes constant nannying and nagging, not to mention its difficulty in actually configuring it. Gnome seems built for winderz users and I only have one xp install out of 4 machines here. And it boots F8 99.9% of the time. KDE I can set to do almost anything. >Wolfgang >_______________________________________________ >Linux-audio-dev mailing list >[email protected] >http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
