> Actually, I don't use pasuspender, I killed all pulseaudio related processes, and it apparently falled back to alsa (pulseaudio didn't respawn). Yep you have a sound card without a hardware mixer. Killing pulseaudio and not inserting dmix results in exclusive access problem. Basically you just did close to what the pasuspender script does. You need a mixer of some form on a sound output or you have exclusive. 3 common options. Hardware on the sound card. Dmix from alsa and pulseaudio.
