Why do you need Pulseaudio ? I haven't a clue what you mean about VLC. I'll try to research it, but having used waveinput before on Windows I thought it would be the best and easiest way.
I have pulse audio installed.... because it's there. It was part of the installation I guess. I also have mixers with 'alsa' against them. I really have very little clue what all this is about. I thought it would just work (like it did on Windows once I sussed the ability to listen to 'what-u-hear'). How would I get it to work with ALSA? -- PasTim Server on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2 CPU, 2GHz, 4GB, FLAC files. Touch on Ethernet (in another room).
