On linuxtoday.com I just read review of "Pulseaudio and Kmix 4.4 in Sabayon 5" saying that the issues with pulseaudio and kde 4.4 have been fixed, something along the lines that kmix 4 has pulseaudio integration. I wonder if openSUSE has fixed it in Milestone 1/2. There was a problem where some programs would not run if kmix and pavucontrol were both running, e.g skype would only run with pavucontrol running. On one box skype was working with pavucontrol, then it refused to work. Every box seemed to have a pulseaudio/kmix quirk, so I shifted work around to where things were happy running. I haven't touched what worked after upgrading to Milestone 1 and Milestone2. One comment on the article - a guy says that pulseaudio is the one thing driving him away from Ubuntu, another guy says his cure was "mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/pulsesucks" - and some guys on here have said something or other similarly is driving them away from openSUSE. It looks like every perfect distro has its critics and frustrated users. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
