Thanks Ralf
Actually I am on debian because ubuntu was forcing pulseaudio which
was too much of a headache.
When debian started doing the same, I decided to opt out of a clearly
losing battle :-(
I just checked :
Trying to remove pulseaudio-utils and pavucontrol does not disturb anything
Trying to remove libpulse0 removes everything!
In any case the hiss problem is for now 'cured' -- not sure how
Some fiddling in the alsamixer which includes
-- 6 channels
-- turning off all 'mic-ly' stuff in playback
-- turning on <something else> dont exactly remember
My only question now -- apart from "What the hell does a mic in
playback mean?!" -- should I file a bug with xfce4-mixer for having
only a playback tab?
First of all disable Pulse, or get rid of it.
Don't know how to
do that on Debian.
To get rid of it by removing and not disabling it and assumed there
should be a hard dependency to pulseaudio, the easiest way is to build a
dummy package using equivs.
