My workflow generally consists of listening to amarok, reading akregator, pausing amarok, and then watching flash videos on youtube (this is not what I do all day. Is it?)

Anyways, pulse audio is the preferred media device with the xine backend. Almost everytime amarok will freeze, youtube won't have audio and I will have to restart amarok, the browser, kmix, and the alsasound service.

I've tried this with x86 and x86_64 versions of flash. The x86 makes amarok freeze until the browser instance that spawned flash is quit. The x86_64 version will only allow the audio to recover if alsasound is restarted.

Any help would be nice.

Any reason why you don't just remove pulseaudio? It's not part of an 11.2 default kde installation - for a reason.

Workaround instead of tiny modification and using PulseAudio which is great solution :) -- Rafał -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Solution is trivial, for some reason openSUSE provides configuration file with wrong name. Please do following:

$ su [password] # zypper in alsa-plugins-pulse # mv /etc/asound-pulse.conf /etc/asound.conf

Then I suggest just restarting system.

Ouch! cat > ~/.kde/env/pulse.sh << EOF export ALSA_CONFIG_PATH=/etc/alsa-pulse.conf EOF The file name is not wrong. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

It should not be necessary, the config file is loaded whenever you start any ALSA application. You need only to restart your applications.

Instead of renaming the file, pointing the environment variable ALSA_CONFIG_PATH to it should be enough.

And you can do that using YaST->Hardware->Sound. Locate the "other" combo, at the bottom-right: * Other->PulseAudio configuration ... * Check the "Enable PulseAudio Support" box. * Press OK. It changes the "/etc/environment" file, that will be used the next time you login, so you need to restart your desktop session.
