The app is running fine now with pulse. Woot! :) Glad to help. If you want you or the apps original devs can pitch in on the alsa-dev mailing list on the thread I linked to earlier as there is talk about adding API functions etc. Although there was some consensus, I think the thread has dried up a little and I'm not sure anyone is taking on the mantle of adding the necessary functions. So a gentle poke with fresh impetus would probably help :D Col
