What are the reasons to disable PA by default? Since arts is gone, why should KDE4 be left without any sound server at all? Most sound cards do not support hardware mixing, this means you *need* a sound server to play audio from several sourced at once, e.g. playing music while wathcing some video on the web. Wouldn't a clean integration of a sound server like PA make sense?
When the sound card doesn't supports HW mixing ALSA uses dmix by default since a long time ago. There is no need for a sound server if the only thing you want is software mixing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
