But you are trying to push something out of the distro, with no replacement. That's not very constructive.
It's partly true. Before PulseAudio, whose functionalities are for many something of not use, we had a lot stabler audio system, especially on GNOME. At least you didn't need to restart a daemon everytime you close your browser with a flash animation to have audio controls working again, or you could keep a player open (not playing, simply open in pause) when someone called you on Skype. Currently this is not possible anymore. Skype is trying to implement PulseAudio support, but they are having problems (PA crashes).
Even if skype just writes to the "default" alsa interface it doesn't work? That would seem very strange. Especially as all new distros implement PA these days :) And again, PA works for a lot of people, myself included, so don't talk as if it is just not working at all.
Providing summaries of problems from these reports to bugzilla would be constructive, and allow those problems to get fixed.
Well, asking this is quite irrealistic. How could I answer to your questions about the report not having the hardware in my hand, for example? The best I can do is to report there are certain problems.
How can we trust that you are really reporting this correctly then? :)
Reproducing them and reporting bugs would require to a three level interaction (you <-> me <-> users), which is frankly not feasible. We haven't infinite time.
No we don't, which is why people treat hearsay as such :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
