    Re: Safely Remove Pulseaudio?

    Hmm.. I wonder would it be possible to grab the gnome-media source from the Jaunty repos and recompile that?
    The different version of gnome might cause problems though... must give it a shot at some point.

    Re: Safely Remove Pulseaudio?

    Has anyone had any success with removing PulseAudio and then installing OSSv4? I needed to install OSSv4 since PA does not support devices dsp, needed for some programs I use (in Fedora 10). I ask as I have a spare hard drive and would like to play with Ubuntu 9.10.
    Thanks for reading.

    Re: Safely Remove Pulseaudio?

    My primary reason for removing Pulse was that it screwed the new version of Skype.

    I found that the following worked.

    sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio

    sudo apt-get install esound

    I installed ALSA and the GNOME ALSA GUI via Synaptic. The ALSA GUI is a rough way to control sound but at least everything now works.

    I see Debian Unstable uses Gnome 2.28 aswell. I'm wondering if I fetched the source for Gnome Media, Gnome Applets and Gnome Settings Daemon from the Unstable repositories and compiled it under Karmic.
    It's worth a shot and I'll let you all know how I get on.

    Flash needs a plugin to work with Pulseaudio.

    I went and built the flash plugin from source to get it up and running.
    Code:
    wget http://pulseaudio.vdbonline.net/flashplugin-nonfree-pulse_0.1~000.tar.gz
    tar xvfz flashplugin-nonfree-pulse_0.1~000.tar.gz
    cd flashplugin-nonfree-pulse-0.1~000
    sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev
    make
    sudo make install
    or instead of make install
    Code:
    sudo checkinstall
    to build and install a .deb package.

    I now can play flash along with pretty much all other audio applications.

    Why this wasn't already in the repositories baffles me... :/

    Because pulseaudio works for flash nicely on my end.

    esound can't be ran in karmic due to the sheer volume of integration that pulseaudio emits.

    Out of interest were you able to get sound from flash along with other applications using Pulse at the same time without ever going near plugins for it?

    I use flashplugin-nonfree (i386) on my amd64 arch ubuntu.

    I can hear flash sounds while running totem music on the default install of pulseaudio.

    Strange. I've had the exact same problem with flash in each of the 3 machines I've installed Karmic on, and using that flashplugin-nonfree-pulse package sorted it in each case.
