Hi, Thanks for that. Actually, I want to use Gnome rather than KDE.
I am finding that with Gnome I can have sound from Chromium/Youtube etc, but when I call up the Gnome sound-settings tool, then pulseaudio get's launched and used 100% cpu and crashes Gnome eventually ... Can I re-compile some lib in Gnome that does away with pulse?
