>Through http://bugs.launchpad.net/ And what kind of bugreport it will be then? "Sound vanishes after few minutes or hours. After reboot everything is fine again. Without the PA installed sound never vanishes." - That kind of report will be marked as invalid which require more data. And I never can give them any other data except for that. Unfortunately. There are some of bugreports that aren't fixed for years, you know. >> Or it will be another bug report that will be never fixed? >That depends on the Ubuntu maintainers.

Not every piece of software can lead to not working something in the system. Other kinds of software even if is bugged, will work again when terminated and restarted. Not PA unfortunately - even logout doesn't help as it was reported to me by my friend. She isn't programmer or whatever so cannot do more detailed diagnostics. And I believe she shouldn't do either - she have to use software which just works, not "either works or doesn't when you have unlucky hour". >> It happened on many already, unfortunately for PA. >I have to admit that when PA came up, it was rough and did not work >correctly for me either.

It may be so but everything else that I use works fine with ALSA and I have no extra time nor interest to debug PA a lot, as I have a lot of other work to do so I just choose what works already instead of what not always does. May be it's your hobby to test all kinds of software to find bugs but it's not mine hobby, I'm sorry.
