The newest version has this instead: --------------- CUT BELOW THIS LINE --------------- # Default to PulseAudio pcm.!default { type pulse hint { show on description "Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server" } } ctl.!default { type pulse } --------------- CUT ABOVE THIS LINE --------------- > The new configuration file seems to solve the problem on my Sid system.
