However, my experience with pulseaudio from pre-release ubuntu studio isn't that bad. I have two soundcards in use, a cheap consumer on pci and an usb interface, and both get recognised. The only problem I had there was that the PA-controls are somewhat unusual and it took me a bit to figure out how to set a default card, which is useful to auto-assign every app to a specific card, the consumer-thing in my case. As already mentioned, PA and Portaudio don't work together, no idea if that will change. Also, I'm not too sure that the alsa emulation layer does the job to 100%. Of course, PA and jack don't work together either (at the same time on the same device(interface?) at least). Both need full access. So in any case where you need a Portaudio app, a demanding alsa app or jack you want to shut PA down. Oh, and I think I had cases where some apps simply didn't show up in the volume controls, I think VLC was such a case. Any way, I'm not really impressed but it doesn't really stand in my way, Ubuntu Studio has a script to shut PA down when you start jack ;) Best Regards, Philipp
