Pulseaudio and my sanity

[Brian Norman Wootton]

I can't speak for others but Pulseaudio came as original equipment with 
my installation of 9.04.


I too only had pulse audio in my initial installation of 9.04, it wasn't 
until I had installed and activated the correct nvidia drivers for 
my machine's chip set that I managed to get the alsa stuff working properly.
I now have alsa.... and pulseaudio and they both work properly.
 On about every 3rd boot/reboot I get a black patch come up bottom
right with an error from Phonon saying alsa doesn't work and it has
defaulted to pulseaudio. But as it's always alsa that's running my track
when I do a ps aux | grep alsa, I suppose it's just an application
 'race' with the wrong 'application' coming into run first occasionally.
