Hello, This is regarding pulseaudio on Ubuntu Hardy (Ubuntu 8.04). I have noticed that some of my friends, who have moved from Windows recently, are encountering problems with pulseaudio and some video clips (online as well, e.g. flash). After tyring to sort out these problem for the past few weeks, I have decided just to disable to pulseaudio for these guys for the time being. However, I am not sure how to disable pulseaudio while retaining all the packages. The idea is to re-enable it in the future if needed. So far I have removed some pulseaudio packages and the /etc/asound.conf file. The packages that are left are: gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libpulse-browse0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 libpulsecore5 pulseaudio pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-utils I have also made all Preferences->Sound in Gnome to Alsa. But a pulseaudio process is still running. So, does anybody have any tip on how to just disable pulseaudio? I admit I have not much knowledge about pulseaudio so I might be missing something obvious. Thanks. PS: I have asked on Ubuntu's list as well, but I am hoping people here know more about the guts of pulseaudio so I might get different insights here. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org. Replies sent to my email address are just filtered to a folder in my mailbox and get periodically deleted without ever having been read.
