Or even if I semi do, not how to implement it. I remember years ago when alsa and my sound cards didn't like each other, and getting sound into linux at all was problematic for me. Then when pulse was introduced with w/e Ubuntu release, I finally had great sound support, but the alsa-plugin for pulse caused wow/vent to not like each other, and even without vent up, eventually the sound would become distorted over time. So I found the unsupported wine-pulse patch, that made my life great, wine (WoW/Steam mainly) with sound through pulse. Perfect sound all the way around. Now I get rewriting the sound server for wine was a necessity, but it broke the wine-pulse patches (which I'm not complaining about, just want to make that known). So in order for me to keep up with greatest wine, I have to use the alsa-plugin for pulse, but in 10.10 ubuntu the pulse server is too old, and even in 11.04 the alsa-plugins have a bug where alsa plugin to pulse looses sound after a time. Don't want to go to 11.10, someone emailed me about Mint Linux, but I've just got every machine in my house running Ubuntu (except 1 windows xp licesnse I have for my skype landline phone (usb->phone jack)). So not sure I want to jump ships just yet, and not even sure Mint Linux is running the correct pulse/alsa-plugin patches. So I either stick with 1.3.24 for now with wine-pulse patch, or try and figure out how to upgrade pulse server/alsa-plugins (the other complication is I need 32bit alsa plugins don't I? for Wine? I have 64bit OS, 32bit wine. When I compiled my own Pulse, I got sound in everything but Wine. Even google/flash/youtube/w/e created it's alsa-plugin in pulse, so somewhere wine wasn't creating that plugin). I know this is long, just explaining where I've been. Now your saying create an alsa device and have pulse run through it? I guess I don't follow completely. Cheers, > > Jorl17 > > > > > > -- Sincerely, MacNean C.
