I dedicate the onboard sound to pulseaudio, as the default device. I use pavucontrol to turn off the other sound device in my computer as far as pulseaudio is concerned. I dedicate that device to sound that I want to produce outside pulse. It behaves as a plain alsa device. pavucontrol-0.9.10-1.fc12.x86_64 Applications -> Sound & Video -> Mixers -> Pulseaudio Volume Control The last tab, configuration. Turn off the device by selecting off from the drop down list. This might work with only one device. I haven't tried that. Not sure what happens to system sounds and such. Perhaps pulse sends them to /dev/null if there is no pulse device. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
