Yes, I use audacity on Fedora 9. I do not use pulse at all, though it is installed and disabled (not temporarily suspended). I am not using jack, though that probably isn't your issue. I am using the audacity 1.3.6 beta, and I compiled and installed it from the tarball. I have used the line in successfully to record. It was necessary to select it as the mic is usually the default. alsamixer then F4, and select the recording source.I'm using audacity with jack under F9 to record audio coming in through my computer's line input. Everything seems to work OK, except that no signal appears in the input VU meter or in the displayed waveform. The recording is silent. A little web searching turned up this snippet: Audacity doesn't support PulseAudio, nor Esound for the moment. You'll have to kill or suspend pulseaudio before you use this application. Audacity uses the PortAudio cross-platform Audio API which doesnt support pulseaudio. Some work was started on making portaudio support PulseAudio but this does not appear to be under active development currently and does not work in it'scurrent state.In F8 under KDE, I was able to stop the aRts sound server, and record successfully. F9 with Gnome appears to use both PulseAudio and EsounD. It's easy to stop PulseAudio, using something like: pasuspender -- audacity <argument> but there doesn't seem to be any way to stop EsounD. Has anyone used audacity successfully with jack? Or any other way?
As far as I know the way to turn off the esound server is esdctl off . I think esound is just an alias for pulse at this point. I seem to recall tracing this down and finding that. So suspending pulse should suspend esound.
