Never mind, found the problem after googling a lot: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2010-January/023768.html PA does not work without ConsoleKit, yet the ebuild did not pull CK as a dep :-/ Will file a bug about it. As for the results, it's pretty much as I expected: latency cannot compete with OSS4's vmix. But it isn't worse than stand-alone ALSA+dmix though, which is surprising. Another problem: Amarok 2 stopped working. That is, it loads OK, but there's no sound at all when playing something with the Xine backend. The Gstreamer backend works, but (as always) sound quality sucks (pops and crackles). Any way to get Phonon-Xine to work with PA? I tried to set "audio.driver:alsa" in ~/.xine/config, but to no avail; still no sound.
