'Twas brillig, and Beinan Li at 10/12/08 11:11 did gyre and gimble: > System restart brings back the builtin soundcard. > But apparently I can't do this all day... Sounds like something pretty nasty going on. I did notice some crashes in the past using 0.9.10 and usb devices and removal etc. but these were usually related to module-combine being used and I didn't have time to debug properly... I'll maybe see if I can try such things again with the latest pulse and make sure the problems are not still present... If you have module-combine loaded (see paprefs and the "Symultaneous Ouptut" tab - make sure the option is *unticked*. Not sure it will be what's wrong... I'm just trying to remember where I had problems in the past.
