Yes
No
I can hear sound on banshee, firefox and vlc at the same time.
My only problem with pulseaudio is that when i'm hearing music and minimize/maximize any window the sound stutters. I still haven't found a solution for the problem
Anyone else with the same problem?
I believe the patch changes something with the buffering in the PulseAudio driver for games. If its not working for you, try running the game from a terminal like so:
If that work, you will need to add SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse to your environment permanently, which can be done by adding the following to ~/.profile:Code:SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse <game>
Code:export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse
Try editing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Make sure it has the following lines:
That's what mine has and it works ok, but if you don't have more than one processor, maybe a higher priority would be necessary, so you might play with the nice level a bit. Lower numbers are higher priority (i.e. try something like -13 or -15 if -11 isn't enough). I would probably avoid -20 though.Code:; high-priority = yes ; nice-level = -11
Great! Now I've gone from no surround sound to no sound at all

I have that on the daemon.conf file, but i still get the stutter
1.6GHz Centrino laptop, 1.2Gb RAM, Intel ICH6 is the sound device.
Starting to think that this was not the best choice for ubuntu...this was, i think, the poorest release yet =(
looks like there are many people with the same problem

It wouldn't surprise me if it is a bug in Pulse, it is a nice audio system, but it is far from being ready for main stream use. Putting it in a LTS distribution like this was probably not a great idea, but at least it will get some of the bugs out in the open. Though I really think there should be an easy option to remove it for those who don't feel/can't work around the bugs.
Here's how you can remove pulseaudio:
From the ubuntu wiki:
PulseAudio Removal
If you decide you no longer like PulseAudio and would like to disable it: Remove the added lines to /etc/asound.conf If /etc/asound.conf did not exist when you installed PulseAudio, you may remove /etc/asound.conf entirely.
After this, you may remove all of the installed PulseAudio packages.
To disable pulseaudio in hardy you need to select alsa for for all options in /system/preferences/sound
I myself am not sure if surround sound is working or not. I only need it for games but I'm not sure how to test it. It feels like surround sound but...
