This step tests a workaround for the daemon ABENDing while we further debug the root cause. The impact of this change is that PulseAudio users who have desktop environments other than GNOME running may experience some nondeterministic behaviour for the default capture and playback devices when the daemon initially autospawns. Please report any such issues using the Launchpad bug tracker.</blockquote> <div> I woke up this morning hoping to be able to listen to some ABBA. Unfortunately, sound no longer works in my Xubuntu. :( Furthermore, I was hoping to avoid shipping/enabling pulseaudio with Xubuntu. Does this now mean that pulseaudio is required?  </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Secondly, we have globally disabled glitch-free to work around a number of driver bugs that do not seem addressable within the jaunty development span. This change reverts PulseAudio behaviour to rely on the driver's interrupt-based buffering semantics, which appear to be more stable for a significant number of jaunty testers. If you would like to reenable glitch-free, edit /etc/pulse/<a href="http://default.pa" target="_blank">default.pa</a> and change: load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0 to: load-module module-hal-detect Again, please report regressions from the existing jaunty PulseAudio package using the Launchpad bug tracker.
