Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)
OK, so here it is, I'm getting the exact same problem when following the guide. I'll post my steps here, after the download.
Code:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
flashplugin-nonfree ia32-libs lib32asound2 nspluginwrapper teamspeak-client
wine
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 173MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
I just answered "n" and I'm about to do a fallback just like you indicated.
Ideas?
Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)
Hummm, something is wrong again.
When I follow your fallback instructions I get the folowing:
Code:
francisco@MegalaptopII:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get remove --purge nspluginwrapper libflashsupport swh-plugins libasound2-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package swh-plugins is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: nspluginwrapper (>= 0.9.91.4-2ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
lib32asound2: Depends: libasound2 (= 1.0.15-3ubuntu4) but 1.0.16-2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

This is after the "sudo apt-get update" which goes fine. I just didn't post it because is long and somewhat irrelevant...
Re: HOWTO: PulseAudio Fixes & System-Wide Equalizer Support (Hardy Heron)
This all worked quite well for me - it's great to have sound in Flash working again without random crashes, and the equalizer tips worked like a charm - my tinny Inspiron E1405 speakers can finally pump out some volume!
The only bump was with Skype - the ALSA "pulse" device seems to still not work, and I have to continue using the OSS version and padsp like I did before... however, after the tweaks to daemon.conf, the OSS version + padsp no longer has the crackling noises it did before. :)

What tweaks are you talking about?

First of all, you are supposed to install all three packages at once via dpkg, not just libasound2-dev.
Secondly, these errors are to be expected and the next command, "sudo apt-get install -f" will resolve dependencies (i.e., installing libc6-dev and libc-dev). You need to install all three packages via dpkg before running this, though!
Note that I have made adjustments to the guide to prevent these (temporary) errors, in case other users get worried.

Thank you, I ended up figuring that out on my own and should've edited my post to not take anyone's time. Sorry. I do have another question, though, that I hope isn't as obvious as my last. You say "Download the attachment "default.conf.txt" found at the bottom of this post and copy it to /etc/pulse/default.conf:" but the file is actually default.pa.txt. I'm confused.

You didn't waste anyone's time, in fact you spotted a mistake & it's been fixed, thanks a lot! Just so you know, you're supposed to copy "default.pa.txt" to "/etc/pulse/default.pa".

Unfortunately the "uninstall" instructions I gave you seem to cause problems on AMD64 systems, I'm on i386 here so I wasn't able to test.
Also, your final line suggests that you didn't remove libasound2-dev, perhaps you misread my instructions.

I believe Krimpet was referring to the "optional" step of Part C, which is also necessary for my system, otherwise any OSS applications using "padsp" stutter *extremely*. It's obvious it doesn't happen for everyone, if you take a look at the respective bug reports.
