<div>for different audio usage contexts.... very nice way of doing things. Other desktops might take note.</div><div><br></div><div>Context:</div><div><br></div>Simon Lewis' comment about KDE working well w/o pulseaudio prompted me to switch to the KDE desktop. I think he'd already suggested I try krusader (wish they hadn't used that name && they better not start using names with multiple k's in em!), which to get fully working, I ended up installing half of KDE (i'd already gotten the first half with setting up kmplayer). His last comment finished the job and now I appear to be using KDE 4.4.2 (from f12) outright. No more issues with <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/404340">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/404340</a> and <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/472961">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/472961</a> (which also affect fedora and gnome in general)....<div>

(12:24:16 PM) rdieter: fyi folks, coling asked if we could review this for accuracy, and clarify which fedora versions apply, <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/KDE">http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/KDE</a><br>(12:27:48 PM) npm: rdieter -- i'll fwd link to <a href="http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/">http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/</a><br>
(12:28:07 PM) npm: and thanks for reply to my comment on the bug...<br>(12:28:10 PM) rdieter: what's planetccrma have to do with it?<br>(12:28:29 PM) npm: we have issues w/ pulseaudio and a running argument about it all the time (on LAU too)<br>
(12:28:58 PM) npm: planetccrma distributes rpms for audio/video tools and also a rt kernel<br>(12:29:23 PM) rdieter: ah, cool.<br>(12:29:33 PM) npm: a comment on there is actually what sent me to try KDE<br>(12:29:43 PM) rdieter: missed the gear switch away from talking about startup notification. :)<br>
(12:30:54 PM) npm: i posted <a href="http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016881.html">http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016881.html</a><br>(12:31:17 PM) npm: and <a href="http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016882.html">http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/pipermail/planetccrma/2010-May/016882.html</a> mentioned KDE<br>
(12:31:54 PM) npm: "On fc12 x86_64 with KDE 4.4.x and Planet CCRMA core packages installed - a simple remove all packages except pulseaudio-libs and pulseaudio-libs-glib2 was sufficient. On restarting KDE, KDE automatically picked-up that the pulseaudio sound server is unavailable and asks whether the pulseaudio configuration should be permanently removed - the answer is a clear yes!"</div>
