But does this really work for GNOME?
I.e. after setting it in YaST, GNOME won't use PA any more?

Yast is just a fronted to 'setup-pulseaudio' script in this case.

# setup-pulseaudio --disable
Disabling PulseAudio for ALSA...
Disabling PulseAudio for libao...
Disabling PulseAudio for mplayer...
Disabling PulseAudio for openal...

Disabling PulseAudio for OSS...
Disabling PulseAudio for SDL...
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse
Disabling PulseAudio for Timidity...
Disabling PulseAudio for Xine...


I don't use Gnome, so I cannot say if it switches off PA there, but the above
applications should be affected.

Ah thanks, this enlightens me.
(BTW you should use grep -q option there.)

I'm wondering how the Phonon setup for KDE4 is influenced by that.
Basically KDE4 has no strong coupling with PA. Using PA there could
be rather a side-effect of the desktop integration. This should be
tracked via bugzilla.

I guess GNOME setup won't be changed by this script.
For example, ALSA_CONFIG_PATH is always set in /usr/bin/gnome (if
alsa-plugins-pulse is installed).


thanks,

Takashi
