On a related note because my ubuntu laptop runs nted it cannot run
pulseaudio. Because it cannot run pulseaudio no other audio works.
If we are talking of the state of linux audio maybe a small mention of
the
pulseaudio saga would not be out of place?
To go off-topic, what is the reason nted cannot work with pulseaudio?
If its jack-only or alsa-only there's still no problem getting
pulseaudio to work in those scenarios.
From the nted docs:

Actually this is a timidity issue.
Ive got timidity to play with jack (on another system)
And I believe jack works with (or shuts up) pulseaudio so I need to try the
jack route.
On the whole though I am now switching from ubuntu to debian which is more
well behaved as far as I can see.
[My current modus operandi is to use ubuntu live to partition, grub and
generally check out a new system. Then install debian. Any better
suggestions are welcome :-) ]
