Hans, Feel free to add pulseaudio support for it, if you want. I don't have time (or interest) on fixing support for it. Even after fixed, I think that it is safer to keep the default behavior to directly use alsa, but it is a good idea to allow users to override. > People have been screaming about Pulseaudio for *years*, and those > concerns/complaints have largely fallen on deaf ears. Hmm.. I forgot to add a disclaimer on my previous post that my comments express my own opinion, doesn't reflect the opinion of my employer, and so on ;) Seriously speaking, I'm not saying that pulseaudio is bad. I just said it didn't bring anything that _I_ was needing, and that, on the other hand, it broke several things, requiring some tricks to workaround about it. Well, it works most of the time, and, on my development machines, I generally don't start X, as I prefer to work via ssh. > Lennart works > for Red Hat too - maybe you can convince him to take these issues > seriously. I don't have much contact with Lennart. Red Hat is a big company. I'll talk with him if I have an opportunity, but I don't think I'll be able to convince him. My usecase is to use my development machines as if they were servers, working on them remotely via ssh and tty consoles. This is not the typical usage for pulseaudio. Clearly, it were designed thinking on a normal desktop user, as pulseaudio is started via X session.
