PulseAudio is awesome. We've desperately needed something like it in the Linux desktop ecosystem for a very long time. Ubuntu's integration (and lack of co-ordination with upstream) is... not so great. Sadly, this means that a huge majority of folks are not seeing PulseAudio operating at its best... and end up blaming it. Hopefully, the Ubuntu desktop developers will spend a bit of time polishing up the PulseAudio integration in their next release (an LTS, so polish is very much the focus). I suspect Daniel was reacting not to your commentary on PulseAudio in particular, but to the relevance and appropriateness of such commentary about the fruits of volunteer Open Source development in general. :-) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2010: Wellington, NZ http://www.lca2010.org.nz/ "Maybe you should put some shorts on or something, if you want to keep fighting evil today." - The Bowler, Mystery Men -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
