You just KNOW I can't let you get by with that without a rebuttal!
<grins evilly> What kind of sound card/chip do you have that doesn't
like pulse? I >HATED< pulse for the longest time until I quit using alsa
tools and mixers and stuck with pavucontrol. Now, it works exactly like
I want it to, and find switching between sound sources and outputs to be
a dream come true. Merry Xmas Basil! Stay out of trouble, as you "upside
