Pulseaudio has amazingly well-working jack audio drivers and alsa interfaces, so finally linux audio works without hassle for all programs all the time. This is the only modification I had to do to make it work: $ grep jack /etc/pulse/* /etc/pulse/default.pa:load-module module-jack-source /etc/pulse/default.pa:load-module module-jack-sink I don't know how pulseaudio is set up on other distributions, but on fedora 11 everything seems to work very well. On fedora 10, on the other hand, pulseaudio sometime started its own jack daemon called "jackdbus" which hogged the soundcard but didn't produce any sound, but that's not the case with fedora 11. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
