Yea, that's what I took away from it. Bottom line summary: Pro: Someday PA will be 'insanely great'. Assuming it doesn't get abandoned to a horrible death when the primary devel burns out or realizes there is a reason nobody else has succeeded with an all encompassing 100% solution to audio under Linux. With the PA in F10 and the right hardware you do get glitch free audio so that is one tangible benefit. Con: Right now, today, it would be hard to identify a real world case where something works with PA and doesn't work without it. The reverse case is all to easy to find. Apparently at various times in the past the problems have been as bad as totally locked desktops. Despite the plans for the future, currently PA doesn't provide any must have features above what exists without it. Unless somebody can identify a real world use case for moving a playing stream from one device to another. Cute? Oh yea. Useful? Not very. Right now I'd recommend treating PA like SELinux on a desktop. Neither serve a real purpose yet so leave it enabled until something blows up. If you can't fix it in ten minutes with Google ditch it and try again next release. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
