Hi. I have pulse running over here, on my ArchLinux system. But I'm also running at least one application, namely espeakup, which does not use Pulse Audio. No, Pulse does not run in system mode. It runs as the user "chris", and I use it for music and other things. Aside from adding the "chris" account to the realtime scheduling group, I don't remember doing anything special when I installed it. So why does everyone else have problems with Pulse that I don't have? Granted, my card does hardware mixing. Maybe that explains it. -- Chris
