Yes, screen rocks! I do keep the gui, mainly for firefox even though it requires that I use a second audio device. Everything else is tty's and screen terminals. About half of my tty's launch subject specific screen sessions with multiple terminals. In all of those, I have aliases for mplayer to talk to several additional audio devices, or ecaplay, or aplay. All works like a charm. Janina Doug Smith writes: > > > I really have quit a bit to say here. I have also terminated pulse with extreme prejudice on this system.
