Sorry, my bad. > Making the setup more automated is still on our todo list, but it has proven > to > be quite tricky to get right. Couldn't there be an option like '--migrate-to-pa' or an environment variable that pulseaudio could take into account to migrate/create the system/user configuration automatically. By default it would be set so migration is disabled. So, when running pulseaudio for the first time (depending on the value of that parameter) would make the necessary changes to make pulse the default sound output using hal or another alsa mixer (or however is called), etc. Wouldn't that work? Just an idea. > Closing this bug as it's a user configuration error, not a bug in pulseaudio -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein _______________________________________________ Pkg-pulseaudio-devel mailing list Pkg-pulseaudio-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-pulseaudio-devel
