Hi,
Am I missing something?
Why doesn't pulse audio have a simple config gui for choosing the
default sound server and card order?
I tried using pulse device chooser but it doesn't list any cards or
devices or server options for me to choose from. Just has a radio button
for "default" or "other" and then asks me to input a name for the
"other" option.
Is there another gui that I could be using or is it expected that
pulseaudio users don't need to set anything as it will all be handled
magically by the system files?
Is this a planned feature on someones todo list or are desktop Linux
users just expected to edit config files manually for audio?
Cheers.
I'm not at home, so I can't check right now, but as far as i remember I
could configure most things from this panel applet. Note though, that
the user interface isn't always very intuitive. You sometimes have to
use a right click to get at an context menu in obscure places. Setting
the default sound card also happens via a context menu. The only
thing I configured in a config file was the jack sink.
Hope that helps,
Burkhard
