Hello,
PulseAudio has been one of the major sources of complaints and of problems for both the 11.0 and 11.1 release, with significant annoyances for openSUSE users, as reported on IRC and on local forums.
As a consequence it is worth to consider the possibility to disable it by default on freshly installed systems for openSUSE 11.2.
I opened an enhancement request to collect votes and motivations here https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478511
Please, keep the entry on bugzilla as clean as possible. All the discussion should be done here on the ML.
To vote, please, don't simply add a "+1", but use the blue button to cast your votes (up to five per each user) in bugzilla.
Are there specific bugs concerning pulse-audio on 11.1 that are not currently fixed?
If not, why would anyone want to remove it and go back to the broken audio systems that we used to have?
I've had my 11.1 sound go very weird. I believe it to be related to pulse audio. If you follow the link from the bugzilla to: https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2009-February/003150.... You see a post from yesterday that says the issue is that the OpenSuse kernel: == Apparently OpenSUSE ships a kernel (2.6.27.7-9-pae) that causes scheduling latencies of > 210ms. That is a lot. That is really really really a lot. == The post offers no solution, but simply explains why pulseaudio is not working reliably given a 210 ms scheduling latency. Thus, the question seems to be is the SuSE kernel going to be tuned to work with pulseaudio's latency requirements, or does it need to be disabled by default.
