I'll wait for your mail about the pros and cons before getting further on this. We'd need to rethink the gnome-sound-properties if PA was to be used as a system daemon, as we wouldn't be able to easily switch outputs. What worries me as well is the amount of work necessary to get speaker systems with more than 2 speakers (ie. stereo) working, and if it even would with PA. I'll hold on for more details, and you can fill in the blanks for me then :) Cheers -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
