Hello: Just to add some information about this:
>> They don't provide further details so I downloaded a few versions of >> their pulseaudio package and compared the configuration files. The older >> Ubuntu versions of pulseaudio have the same broken pulse-alsa.conf file >> as Sid does. The newest version has this instead: <snip> >> The new configuration file seems to solve the problem on my Sid system. >Probably making the same change as was done in Ubuntu would be reasonable. The file included in Ubuntu is basically the file "99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example" included in the package libasound2-plugins and installed at /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example but they use the description from the old pulse-alsa.conf file and still included in the Debian package. I have used for several years the attached file saved as ~/.asoundrc since pulseaudio was giving me trouble long ago. It is basically /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/50-pulseaudio.conf /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d/99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example both in 1 file. I think I first read the explanation for each file from http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#ALSAApplications when I first used the attached file. The 50-pulseaudio.conf part is redundant since it just add a name therefore using only the 99-pulseaudio-default.conf.example file as used in Ubuntu should be fine too. Hope this helps, Miguel
