Gene, can I say that you want to make sure to really understand what
Lennart says here? The power pavucontrol gives you as an audio user is
massive. Stuff like setting devices for live streams of applications
used to be buried deep deep down. pulseaudio provides a view of your
sound devices and sound sources that was simply not there before. It
provides what most people want, actually, only that ...
... it needs way better integration from distributions. That's where
userland is important. Make the effort to report KDE's supposed lack
of pavucontrol (Lennart, couldn't you have called the thing
pulsecontrol? Ach!)
Jolly idea, that. blahcontrol seems to be the buzzword these days.
What is
pavucontrol? It was never, ever, part of the kde menu's
on this F8, KDE-3.5.9 equipt x86 box. The tool may well work as
advertised, but first it has to be found before it can be used.
It is available in the GNOME menus AFAIR. I do not maintain the
Fedora KDE packages and I have no idea how well or bad PA is
integrated in KDE. to redhat and it will get fixed. Like Lennart
says: He's not even aware of it because he's on gnome. Help them and
people will benefit from it.
And I don't like gnomes constant nannying and nagging, not to mention its
difficulty in actually configuring it. Gnome seems built for winderz users
and I only have one xp install out of 4 machines here. And it boots F8 99.9%
of the time. KDE I can set to do almost anything.
