I don't agree with your assertion of a "configuration that cannot be
overridden either by user or by local system settings". If you don't
want the pulse pcm+ctl, then don't allow the pulseaudio daemon
to run, e.g., kill it. I concur that there is a usability bug in not being
able to easily {en,dis}able the daemon, but it's a bit of a stretch to
assert that the pcm+ctl configuration can't be overridden.Please note as well that, in a default Ubuntu configuration, the daemon will be invoked during session startup and will grab hw:*. In such a case, ~/.asoundrc will be unusable involving hw:* unless the hardware supports multiopen. Therefore, it is very much the intent of the pulseaudio package to provide a pcm+ctl configuration that overrides any other setting when the daemon is active. You *must* disable the daemon (as noted above) to stop this action. I'm unsure how you intend to make pulseaudio work out of the box and to still effect ~/.asoundrc with highest priority. In the case where ~/.asoundrc conflicts with pulseaudio's pcm+ctl configuration, how do you wish ~/.asoundrc to remain effected, e.g., how would you add such logic checks? ----- Original Message ---- From: Martin Stjernholm <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 4:51:14 AM Subject: [Bug 295832] Re: Alsa does not honor pcm.!default in ~/.asoundrc because of /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf Intentional or not, it's bad behavior: It's clearly a dist configuration that cannot be overridden either by user or by local system settings. As said earlier: People might have any number of reasons for not wanting this hardcoded override that the pulse package does. The default pcm/ctl is configurable in alsa, it no longer is when pulseaudio is running. If this pcm/ctl override were the only or prime reason to run pulseaudio then it'd be ok, but that's not the case. I therefore persist: It would be good if this was overridable at least on the system level, typically through a setting in /etc/default/pulseaudio. -- Alsa does not honor pcm.!default in ~/.asoundrc because of /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
