PULSEAUDIO Boycott?

native pulse means using pulse' api instead its alsa/oss emulation. not doing

app -> gstreamer -> alsa -> pulse -> alsa -> module

but

app -> gstreamer -> pulse -> alsa -> module

:-)

Well, why doesn't someone start a community project to maintain a repo with packages all compiled with pulse support? It seems there are enough people to help out.

Sounds like a great idea.

I will say that removing pulse from Fedora is pretty easy. I had to leave a few of the packages on the system, but they do nothing but take up space, which I don't really care abou themt. Skype has trouble recording audio from a microphone if pulseaudio is installed, so it's one of the first things that I remove from any distro that in installs it by default. From my perspective, audio servers do nothing but screw things up. I was very happy indeed when I heard that KDE 4 was dropping arts.

It is, I'm using that right now.

To the poster with the x86_64 desktop and the i686 netbook, cross-compiling is your friend.

An i686 chroot is even better.

I'm using Gnome. KDE's integeration with pulseaudio is a bit lacking at the moment. Use the gtk interfaces (pavucontrol specifically), that's the easiest until KDE starts getting the work Colin Guthrie is doing with Mandriva on KDE and Pulse integration.
