I tested it a while on KDE and as expected it has downsides compared to using plain alsa. :-) I lost all controls in kmix except of only one volume control. Xine based players like e.g. Dragonplayer just crash. But Smplayer is a way better and didn't had any problems. In general I don't see any need to use pulse-audio; except Gnome users who wont have any choice in future. But I guess some day it will just work without problems; atm pulse audio support is in early state in some apps. I am still happy to have my good old Soundblaster Live which does mixing in hardware. ;-) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
