I do not understand what Charlie meant, but never mind. I can play music even without pulseaudio. I can even use a digital connection to amplifier. >> Someone told me that the current pulseaudio requires much more CPU >> power than alsa.

Well, it has happened that pulseaudio does something additional, supposedly useless: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/207135 But it is marked as fixed, so hopefully in Lucid there is no such problem. Still, If I have understood right, low latency requested by some programs results in more CPU usage, when using pulseaudio. -- http://www.iki.fi/8/ -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
