But sound in it is not essential, and during the rare occurence when I do use it, I suppose I can do the pasuspender thing. I don't care about OSS at all. **************************************** How about FlashPlugin 9 ? Can it use the virtual 'pulse' ALSA device? I hoped that anything which can output sound to a hardware ALSA soundcard can also use a virtual ALSA card, but as we can see with Skype + BlueZ-audio and VirtualBox + pulse, this is not always the case... *************************************** Has anyone on this list tried to use Pulse with bluetooth headsets?
