Hi I thought this might be useful in the mailing list archives. It applies to Fedora Core but might help Suse and Mandriva users too. It would seem from the remarks to be no use to Ubuntu although the ideas may be helpful to other Debian distros. Note that PlanetCCRMA is a, Fedora based, music composition and performance distro that uses a special real time version of the kernel. This kernel works to provide exactly the opposite effect to Pulse-Audio. In fact the pulse people themselves have stressed that pulse should not be used in music generation/performance scenarios. The facilities that pulse provides are designed to enhance the standard desktop. The standard desktop is the most likely place to find Ekiga. The optimum solution is to have Ekiga work well with Pulse-Audio. The best way to get this is - for those of us who are users not developers - to keep complaining! Hope this helps those who would like to try to do without pulse in the meantime. David -------- Original Message --------
Thanks to everyone for your help on my earlier issue. Despite the work done on making PulseAudio coexist better (specifically with JACK), I'm liking so far working without PA. It seems there's a terrific FAQ on the subject here: http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds -- including how to address PA issues *without* removing PA, but also a complete PA removal process. And it seems that Fedora, unlike Ubuntu, can pretty effectively excise PA via its packages and one config change, so it should be reasonable to revert to reinstalling PA if for some reason you changed your mind.
