The documentation: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User Has a link to the "Perfect Setup": After doing your first steps with PulseAudio you might want to know everything about the perfect setup. The URL it points to is: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/ That page only contains a link to a "pulseaudio-patch.patch": http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/pulseaudio-patch.patch This is very confusing. Is that patch some kind of "perfect setup?"
