That must be a different pulseaudio to the one I'm using then. The per-application mixer (pavucontrol) is very useful and being able to move a running stream from the normal output to the USB soundcard I've just plugged iis extremely cool (yes, I know I could just restart mplayer and tell it to use the different soundcard). Sure, if you have either very simple (one soundcard, one well-behaved app) or very complex (jack) requirements then pulseaudio isn't going to help, but for anything in between it's way in advance of anything we've had before. jch ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
