What is the feeling among Linux audio users about
PulseAudio?
Personally I've had virtually no contact with it. The only App. of mine
that uses it is Audacity, and I find it's behaviour very strange when
trying to get it to work with jack.
Audacity uses PortAudio, not PulseAudio, right? Two different things,
which only adds to the confusion (in my mind). :-)
Oops :)
Hi Will. Just stick to writing music, and by the way we havn't had anything
from you lately.
If pulseaudio does turn up as a new package when you update, and the sound was
working just fine before that, then just disable the darned thing, as it can
cause problems that didn't exist before.
I've used Alsa since Fedora Core 1, but come Fedora 8, pulseaudio is now
installed as default, and the sounds with my Audigy2 soundblaster card, no
longer worked. Removing the package "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" got the sounds
working again.
Thankfully none of my other distros, Debian, Kubuntu, or Archlinux have forced
Pulseaudio onto me.
