This could be very useful once I get arch linux going (at this stage can't get it to even boot !). arch linux has been suggested to me as possible solution to below. The possible issue with PulseAudio experienced (stuttering audio) is using Suse 11+, or recent Ubuntu or Redhat. Any alsa 1.0.18->1.0.28. The issue with only 4 outputs, but all 32 inputs, working is under Suse 10 with alsa 1.0.15 added afterwards. At least this setup mostly works. If someone is aware of any RMS driver problem that was fixed relating to multiple outputs after driver 1.0.15 that'd be helpful to know. > > ... after that kill pulseaudio. > > "PulseAudio can be stopped with: > $ pulseaudio --kill" - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio > > So IMO no reboot should be needed to completely get rid of it, but > rebooting can't harm. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
