howdy, In Arch, at least, you can install skype without pulse. There's a package called lib32apulse which fakes skype in to thinking it is running in pulse. I have not really liked pulse since it came out. It's always caused far more problems for me than it solved. The only thing I ever really thought was neat about pulse was recording from the sound card, and maybe per-application volume controls, but well written apps have that built in anyway, using pulse or not.

Life is not necesarily simpler with out pulse. Exact steps vary depending on distro, well package names vary more to the point. You can't use skype with out pulse, at least not to talk and hear others talk. You can set up a hybrid system using dmix where pure alsa is the default where possible, and pulse is used when needed. What distro are you using? Have you been using it for a while, i.e. have you customized your system in important ways? You might be best off making a pure alsa system from scratch, e.g. on arch-linux. You could even dual or multiboot with one OS being a pure alsa distro if you know that this will for some reason mke your podcast production easier than it would be using pulseaudio. Don't forget you'll need to configure speech-dispatcher to use alsa instead of pulse if you do this At least fairly recently it was possible to remove pulse and have things still work on gnome/debian for instance, do not know if anythind has changed in gnome that absolutely requires pulse. At lest a release ago one could still install a pulse free mate desktop, again, not possitive about latest stable release. -- B.H.

I found the following about removing pulse audio. do you Think this will work? http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/01/how-to-remove-pulseaudio-use-alsa-ubuntu-linux/ I also found information on hardware monitoring when recording stuff, and hearing the microphone. So now it will perhaps be easy to record and do some Linux podcasts. easier than in windows:) /Kristoffer -- Kristoffer Gustafsson Salängsgatan 7a tel:033-12 60 93 mobil: 0730-500934 _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.orgEnd of quoted content _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html Log bugs and feature requests at http://bugzilla.gnome.org
