https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=410593 Summary: PulseAudio Problems Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: w0snj@speakeasy.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer The PulseAudio software is completely unstable. List of bugs are as follows: 1. PulseAudio Volume Control (tool bar), habitually cannot connect to the server. 2. PulseAudio Server frequently crashes. 3. PulseAudio gives numerous errors on startup: pulseaudio[22043]: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied pulseaudio[22043]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted pulseaudio[22043]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted pulseaudio[22047]: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied pulseaudio[22047]: pid.c: Daemon already running. pulseaudio[22047]: main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed. 4. PulseAudio distorts the sound in unsupported applications, see wesnoth for an example. 5. I suspect pulseaudio, and its flashplayer support to be causing most of my firefox crashes. As a long time user/developer of Linux I became used to really crappy sound support, but over the last year sound support in Linux has become incredibly robust. SUSE V11.0 and Pulseaudio is a huge step backwards. I have come to rely on Skype, and sound notices, to increase my productivity. I can't make this large of a step backwards. Pulseaudio is NOT ready for prime time. So I guess that leaves me with two options: 1. Can I downgrade to 10.3? My concerns are the changes that 11.0 made to my "/home" partition during install. 2. Can I remove pulseaudio and replace it with something else, without breaking all of GNOME? I know guys, that the main goal of the bugtracking system is going to be to fix the pulseaudio support. I can't wait years for the pulseaudio software to become stable. The 10.3 sound support was near flawless, and was much better than just good enough. I really need some assistance on backing far away from pulseaudio, not continuing to try and debug the problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
