Since pulseaudio requires the exclusive sound access for most hardwares, it can't run parallel well. Is pulseaudio used actively on your system? -- 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.
