Did you run "setup-pulseaudio --disable"?

What this command will do? $ man setup-pulseaudio No manual entry for setup-pulseaudio I still do want to use PA. I just don't want user clients to start like with 11.4. Is it what it will do? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I still do want to use PA. I just don't want user clients to start like with 11.4. Is it what it will do?

It's a script to change the setup of many applications to use or not to use PA. I guess this is what you need. PA itself still remains, so you can start it manually, and also start apps with options to use PA if possible.

Hmm, no it is not what I need. Mplayer (and possibly others) doesn't work anymore: $ mplayer *.mp3 ..

It implies that some other apps are using the sound device without dmix.

Note again that I do want to use pulseaudio and not the HW directly (or with a help of dmix).

Check "fuser -v /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p" to see it.

# fuser -v /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: pulse 10051 F...m pulseaudio As expected -- the system-wide daemon which every app on my system should use.

BTW, flash itself doesn't use PA directly. It goes through PA only when alsa-plugin-pulse is installed and the setup is overridden to use this plugin. For example, GNOME assumes that the use of PA as default, thus it sets up so.

It all worked and works (I have the alsa pulse plugin). And all was fine until the big update to 12.1 factory. After that update, some process spawns (apart from the system-wide daemon above) another session-wide. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ah, OK. So setup-pulseaudio --disable isn't the best choice in your case.

BTW when I ran that, it complained about missing /etc/profile.d/pulseaudio.*. It looks like after --enable the profile files appeared there. Could that affect this issue somehow? Note that I don't have the files on my 11.4 machine too. So I ran --enable there too and the files are there now. Should "setup --enable" be run automatically during PA update when PA is enabled?

Could you figure out which apps (except for flashplayer) show the problem?

I'll try to investigate. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
