As far as I am concerned, pulseaudio is a pain in the arse. Why?

I use both kaffeine and xine to watch DVDs and digital TV on my 32-bit
oS 11.0 and I do this without any sound hassles.

I installed oS 11.1 - which installs, and uses, by default pulseaudio -
but using kaffeine and xine to watch TV as I normally do under 11.0 I
got drop-outs in the sound (akin to stuttering) every minute or so (I
didn't time this phenomenon so let's just say that the drop-outs
occurred on a regular basis -- *damn* annoying!).

pulseaudio is not installed in oS 11.0 so I decided to try an experiment
by uninstalling pulseaudio in 11.1.

Guess what? No more drop-outs! The sound is perfect.

So, pulseaudio.....Phffffft!

Ciao.
