I think many people have had similar experiences -- I actually disabled PulseAudio completely in my own F-10 machines and especially my father's, because audio was just too unreliable. But Fedora is _supposed_ to be bleeding edge. It may have been a little _too_ bleeding edge in that case, but it's also a lot better in F-11 than it used to be. A lot of work has gone into fixing the bugs, and personally I'm determined to stick with it in F-11. Amusingly, the first time I noticed PulseAudio actually 'doing its job' and mixing multiple streams was completely counterproductive -- it was when I was trying to give a presentation from OpenOffice, and because the video was playing on both screens, so did the audio... slightly out of sync with each other, giving me an echo :) But still, I'm determined to stick with it. And I don't think that attacking it on those grounds is particularly useful. The issue which we _should_ address is how regressions are handled when they're actually a _design_ issue in PulseAudio rather than simply a bug. It's very disturbing that regressions are being marked as WONTFIX, and I think we need to do better than that. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
