Hello, Since a few weeks I'm running pulseaudio on my machines and it works nicely. I especially like the ability to send audio though the network. However, I need to run a program (aeolus) which works with plain ALSA but not with pulseaudio's ALSA emulation (It complains that "the playback interface doesn't support mmap-based access"). I had set up /etc/asound.conf to default to pulse as recommended. Now I wonder, is it possible to have some applications accessing the native ALSA device while pulseaudio is running? I would have imagined that something like this would work: ALSA_CARD=NVidia aeolus -A but it doesn't. I get the "mmap-based access" error. Also killing pulseaudio doesn't help, as it is restarted when a program is trying to access ALSA. A solution would be to modify /etc/asound.conf (or it's user-local equivalent), kill pulseaudio, and then run the program, but this is very inconvenient. Any ideas? thanks, Christoph
