I tried. I looked at all the configuration information, the perfect setups, the tips. I'm a computer savvy guy that's been using linux for years. I'm a software engineer with a MS in CS. But I can't get everything working with pulseaudio installed. I like the idea, I wish it worked, but my SDL sound was distorted, my flash videos had no sound, I went round and round with different configuration setups, and never got everything working at once the way I wanted. So, finally I removed it again and after much manual reconfiguration everything's working fine now. When I can do apt-get install pulseaudio, and everything works without doing anything else, let me know. Until then it's not ready for prime time and certainly not ready for use as a default. I hear that my start up sounds won't work, but I always thought that a bizarre idea anyway, so I don't use them. I find it hard to believe that Ubuntu would have been set up so that you couldn't get system sounds without breaking other things though, so I'll take that with a grain of salt.
