Any plans to utilize PulseAudio like other distributions are or will be doing? http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntudesktop704 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/8/FeatureList Pulseaudio is a drop in replacement for esd, supports alsa and oss streams, and has some features that alsa/dmix doesn't have. The only app I've not been able to get working with pulseaudio is mythtv (bug submitted here: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/94 ). Page about getting most linux apps to work using pulseaudio: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup Here's a nice presentation about linux audio and some of the advantages pulseaudio has: http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2007/video/talks/211.ogg http://0pointer.de/public/pulseaudio-presentation-lca2007.pdf I think it would be great that if on a default suse install all the sounds from the major apps just worked, even on my crappy one channel soundcard. PulseAudio seems to be a nice solution for this, and enables some cool features (remote playback, synchronized audio over a lan connection, per application persistent volume settings, etc...)
