Is this problem still present with the current versions of thunderbird and pulseaudio in karmic?
Does vlc support output via pulseaudio? It would seem that fixing vlc to not output directly to alsa would address this problem as well. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- Thunderbird freezes when "Play a sound" is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410418 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
