> Hi all, i was told to post my problems with libpulse here as some kind
> of confirmation data, on the libpulse problems
>
> first up: Media Players
> -sound in kaffine is up to 2 seconds out of sync with video.
>
> -Mplayer becomes really choppy as its constantly waiting for the sound
> to catch up this is also true for vlc. 
>
> -Amarok plays very rarely as its playing "non-perfect" mp3's.

> secondly : Dependencies

> dependant on libpulse, for instance why does a weather widget for KDE4.2
> need libpulse. 
>
> -Mplayer was linked against liubpulse so will not run when libpulse is
> removed but mplayer uses ffmpeg for its codecs so being linked against
> libpulse seems like unnecessary (ended up building mplayer by hand from
> svn).

> thirdly: my 2 cents
> -libpulse should not be a linked app, any app should be able to run
> without it, so those like myself who prefer those that are mature and
> work like xine can use xine without the hindrance of libpulse, also
> since libpulse is a Gnome framework, why is it being forced on KDE4.2
> users when the xine phonem plugin runs with no troubles at all, forcing
> libpulse on everything does not make opensuse the "most usable distro".
