Obviously the mindset of pulse developers has to be turned around a bit, and that is rather difficult. One method that has worked for me earlier is to show the right people at Red Hat that there is a need for a certain change in Fedora as it would benefit RHEL from a business standpoint. I cannot see how that can be applied to audio, but perhaps someone here can come up with a nice tactic? > Hmmm, not too good I guess. Pulse should not be guessing as to where to > send things. Maybe that is configurable. Sorry, I didn't explain that well enough. I switch pulse to the USB headset on purpose to keep sound working in the pulse apps. As you noted, there is no sound from pulse apps otherwise as long as jack owns the audio hardware. > > > This way pulse apps and jack apps seem to > > coexist nicely.

I'll try a reboot and then play around a little bit. I anticipate a slow day at work. :-) birger _______________________________________________ Fedora-music-list mailing list Fedora-music-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-music-list
