Problem is that pulseaudio is always started automatically. I would like to stop that from hapening. Also, I discovered that the media players themselves in FC11 are compiled to run with pulseaudio. To wit: yum install mplayer gnome-mplayer mplayer-gui gnome-mplayer-minimal gnome-mplayer-nautilus gnome-mplayer-common mplayer-doc Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package gnome-mplayer.i586 0:0.9.6-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-mplayer-common.i586 0:0.9.6-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-mplayer-minimal.i586 0:0.9.6-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package gnome-mplayer-nautilus.i586 0:0.9.6-1.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package mplayer.i586 0:1.0-0.109.20090329svn.fc11 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libpulse.so.0(PULSE_0) for package: mplayer-1.0-0.109.20090329svn.fc11.i586 --> Processing Dependency: libpulse.so.0 for package: mplayer-1.0-0.109.20090329svn.fc11.i586 ---> Package mplayer-doc.i586 0:1.0-0.109.20090329svn.fc11 set to be updated ---> Package mplayer-gui.i586 0:1.0-0.109.20090329svn.fc11 set to be updated --> Running transaction check ---> Package pulseaudio-libs.i586 0:0.9.15-14.fc11 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution So, how do I tell mplayer and other media players to NOT use pulseaudio? _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Search, add, and share the web’s latest sports videos.
