Is there some good guide on how to configure pulse to mix multiple sources and use different devices (they are called sinks in pulse, I have USB headset and an integrated soundcard)? I am in a desperate need of one.
Now it's a mess -- my applications fight each other over the control of audio output. Kaffeine can loose it when put on pause and then crash when run again, Gizmo (Skype-like communicator) won't even start, Amarok goes mute. I need to kill Pulse and Kaffeine dozen times a day.
I would like the sources to be simply mixed (so that I could play music while Gizmo is running fe), set default device for commonly used apps and be able to change the device which is being used "on the fly". Is it possible?
Do you use KDE or Gnome? In KDE4, in System Settings/Sound, I set up Xine as the preferred sound infrastructure and pulse audio as the preferred device and then I got sound working exactly as you want. By the way, this is the only way I can get sound 100% working. Without pulse audio, KDE4 skips some sound events and KDE4 applications (Amarok 2, Dragon Player) do not produce any sound at all. With pulse audio enabled and set as the higher priority device, everything works just fine. In some machines, I have to check the "Show advanced devices" checkbox to be able to see pulse audio in the device list and set it as the higher priority device.
