Pulse Audio is the only way I've managed to get some apps to play sound. Namely Flash via youtube (hit and miss, with mostly misses for reasons I don't understand. Also seems to be distribution specific) and I also used I think Ekiga VoIP soft phones to record into Audacity once when our main phone system was giving me grief.
Pulse can do a lot of network based streaming now too but with Riv relying on ALSA or JACK you don't really have much choice (not that I'm complaining as JACK seems far more reliable and flexible). -----Original Message----- From: rivendell-dev-boun...@lists.rivendellaudio.org on behalf of Rob Landry Sent: Sun 05/08/2012 13:35 To: User discussion about the Rivendell Radio Automation System Subject: Re: [RDD] arrrrgh!!! % # -- CentOS and Rivendell On Sun, 5 Aug 2012, Gavin Stephens wrote: > I know Rivendell is sopose to be cross-linux platforms, but it never really > appears that easy in the posts.

Compiling Rivendell on any distribution of Linux requires some patience and the ability to work out glitches when they crop up. Moreover, when the next version of Ubuntu/Debian/SuSE/CentOS/whatever comes out, or a new version of Rivendell comes out, there will likely be new glitches to puzzle out. My decision to try CentOS was driven by the idea that if Mr. Gleason is using it, then the glitches will have already cropped up in the course of his development work, so I should encounter fewer of them. In the event, I found just as many glitches; moreover, prerequisites took longer to install because more were missing from CentOS's repositories than from Debian's. That said, I still prefer Rivendell to every other radio automation system I've encountered. It's intuitive, it's reliable, and it's adaptable. None of the others ever ran four years without a reboot, as one of my Rivendell machines did. Can anyone tell me what Pulse Audio is good for?
