[Should cut the above but do not know where] I got rid of pulse a long time ago. Run 3.2 kernel, no sound from browsers, etc. Something like Timidity and usually vlc will play. Run the 3.1 kernel, it all plays. Might be the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
