So I have disabled pulseaudio, which worked fine. And I have installed the gtmixer which at least gives me a gui for gnome3, that also works well.
I tried various apps and they all have sound .... so not missing pulse at all ;) By the way, I know I have asked this before, but what is the sound system used by Dfly? .. and how do I get an application to start at boot (like gtmixer), I don't see the usual gui in gnome ..
