+1, I've the feeling that pulseaudio is making the management of sound on

But about the wine problem... I've also an onboard intel soundcard next to

Is pulseaudio useful? or can I remove it?
I've only used Pulseaudio in the context of a review of media players for
Ubuntu 8.04. At that time and for that purpose it performed fine, but I
don't know how it interoperates with JACK or other servers. AFAIK you can
remove it, but you'll probably find that it's a dependency for many other
apps. Boo-hiss for that factor. :(
I'm learmning about Ubuntu 8.10 now as a matter of necessity. So far so
good, but I've yet to muck about with the Pulseaudio stuff. Nothing against
the software itself, but I don't need it, don't want it, and would like to
cleanly remove it.
Best,
