I will have to double check when I get home, but I'm near 100% sure that I have not set the default alsa device to route through pulse.. I will double check though, because I'm not 100% sure what build-root has done. :D > When you run that command (and it's "playing"), can you paste the output > of "pacmd ls"? This might offer some clues. Forthcoming when I get home.. >>> If I hear the audiotestsrc, shouldn't I be able to hear the others? > > Hmm, yeah I would have thought so...

I honestly have no clue what's supported, but this gives me hope!

I'm not sure I understand this.. I mean, I understand what you're talking about, I'm just not sure I know how to look at this.

That's what I figured, I'm gonna remove them again :D > UCM stuff is still in flux.

I don't want any more variables than I need to troubleshoot this. Thanks again Colin.. I really appreciate it! Shawn
