Well, since I'm first to answer I get to inject my prejudices first :) I think pulse is a very long answer to a very short question and so I did away with it months ago. And I haven't regretted it. Truly, I think very few people need pulse outside of professionals who wo= rk in film or music. The main reason others have disagreed with my opinion = is because your silly desktop sounds like beeps and boings and toilets flush= ing interrupt the CD you're listening to. Uh, well, yeah, one sound generall= y interrupts another, true. So what? I'll bet your audio would do what you expect it to do if you just removed every trace of pulse from your machine and run revdep-rebuild with the pu= lse, arts, and esd useflags disabled (if those flags still exist). Contrary opinions will follow shortly ;) Now
