I've put PulseAudio into [testing] some time ago, but received no feedback on this.
This either means it works well, or nobody uses it.
So I'm asking for it now, especially from GNOME and KDE users running PulseAudio.
I tested it a while on KDE and as expected it has downsides compared to using plain alsa. :-) I lost all controls in kmix except of only one volume control. Xine based players like e.g. Dragonplayer just crash. But Smplayer is a way better and didn't had any problems. In general I don't see any need to use pulse-audio; except Gnome users who wont have any choice in future. But I guess some day it will just work without problems; atm pulse audio support is in early state in some apps. I am still happy to have my good old Soundblaster Live which does mixing in hardware. ;-) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
