First, I like pulseaudio, especially the ability of moving streams from one sink to another is awesome for laptops with external sound card :o) But imo hw mixer (or other hw parts) are not that bad... we still have hw accelerated graphic, math,... why not sound? Also this remains me that pulseaudio eats 24 % of my (1.6GHz) cpu when mapping stereo stream to 5.1 which (I suppose) some hw mixer could do while letting cpu free for other tasks. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
