So the question remains, is there a single
configuration setting or
environment variable that can prevent applications from even trying to
use pulseaudio API directly? Despite Lennart's warning, it seems like
most gnome applications have this problem, which lead me to believe
that underlying gnome libs are the ones using the pulseaudio API
directly.
gnome (not gtk) apps use the following gconf settings for sound output
system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/audiosink
system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/chataudiosink
system/gstreamer/0.10/audio/default/musicaudiosink
my machines have the first and last of these set to: jackaudiosink
buffer-time=2000000
and as a result all my gnome apps (and firefox too) route audio via
jack. there are other options too.
