What is PulseAudio and if I don't need it can
I get rid of it?
Pulse audio is a current generation sound server for linux. It sits on top
of ALSA and has certain features one might like. Do you need it? No, you
don't NEED it. it is quite nice when it works though.
I'm not sure that it does, though. In KMix, with Pulse Audio selected, I
see exactly one slider ("Master") on the Output tab and one slider
("Capture") on the Input tab.
When I select "HDA Intel", I get 12 slieders on Output, 5 under Input and a
tab called Switches that has a bunch of stuff.
What constitutes "when it works" with Pulse Audio? I'm thinking that this
isn't it. :-)
