Sorry for a late reply, but I didn't notice the last point that you made until now. Why should I sync analog-output's Desktop Speaker with analog-output-speaker, as opposed to removing Desktop Speaker from analog-output? If the Desktop Speaker element exists, then the analog-output-desktop-speaker port will be created, and since that's more specific than analog-output, analog-output should be suppressed. Therefore, there's no reason for analog-output to care about Desktop Speaker. -- Tanu _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
