Re: [orca-list] what distro for orca?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Ac    tually, it's rather hard to do.  Pulse's documentation in this 
regard is deliberately scanty because the developers don't want it used 
systemwide regardless of how it affects users who rely on sound the way 
we do.  Yes, setting pulse up systemwide is a workaround.  Vinux used it 
in 3.0 3.1 and one spin of 3.2, for instance.  However, you lose some 
Pulse Audio functionality when you do that.  There used ot be a script 
that made the necessary edits to pulse audio's configuration files and 
you could rune one to go to user mode and another to go to system mode.  
It was in Vinux 3.2 but I can't for the life if me remember its name and 
I don't know if PUlse is set up similarly enough in Debian to Ubuntu for 
it to work the same way.
