Hmm. While digging around when I had sound problems, I found the following URL of interest: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup It claims, "Amarok ¶ Amarok is a KDE media player. It supports multiple "engines", which can be changed within the menu: "Settings -> Configure Amarok... -> Engines". The GStreamer engine supports PulseAudio (refer to the general GStreamer section on this page for more information), while the Xine engine supports both PulseAudio (1.1.2 and newer) and Esound (older versions). " Going further down for the Gstreamer section, "GStreamer Applications ¶ Applications using the modern GStreamer media framework such as Rhythmbox or Totem can make use of the PulseAudio through gst-pulse, the PulseAudio plugin for GStreamer in gst-plugins-good. After installing it, you have to enable it as default audio sink and source for all GNOME applications by changing the GConf keys /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink and /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc: gconftool -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink gconftool -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc Alternatively, you can make these changes with the GUI tool gstreamer-properties. The GStreamer plugin wraps playback, recording and the mixer interface. " I don't know where gconftool can be found. I used gsteamer-properties to set the default audio sink and source. gstreamer-properties is a binary provided by gnome-media-apps $ rpm -q gnome-media-apps gnome-media-apps-2.28.5-1.fc12.x86_64 The gstreamer Pulse Audio Plugin is found in $ rpm -q gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.21-1.fc12.x86_64 $ rpm -q -l gstreamer-plugins-good|grep -i pulse /usr/lib64/gstreamer-0.10/libgstpulse.so In the end I believe Pulse Audio will be a good thing. I like the idea of this abstraction layer and what it tries to do. I tried switching a number of programs to using Pulse Audio native. I think I still have some programs trying to go to Alsa. I believe programs trying to go to Alsa are being intercepted by $ rpm -q alsa-plugins-pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.22-1.fc12.x86_64 I have things, more or less, working now. Stuff could still be better. Like me, your mileage will vary. I wish you luck. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvhwlkACgkQyc8Kn0p/AZSlxQCcDNIHC601ZIvq2eGtPqtT3zMF u1wAoIMx6sPIeW+UhSebTnNfhSQMTsk4 =Eej1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
