As a matter of fact, PulseAudio never worked for me on Debian, every time something brought it as a dependency the only way to fix the sound was to purge pulseaudio package and install an alternative to the package which pulled it. The only time I has somehow working PulseAudio was when I installed Ubuntu on a computer I was going to sell. However, it had some extremely weird behaviour: music did play only as long as I was on the same virtual console as the X server — as soon as I switched to vt1, sound disappeared. To me, it's an obvious misfeature, which doesn't exist when I'm using just ALSA and nothing more. -- Cheers, Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
