hi You can run some desktops without pulse audio. But doing so ... I'm not sure how to politely put this, but it takes out a lot of what makes sound convenient on linux. Without pulse audio, you can no longer control apps volume, switch to newly connected sound devices, and so on. If I did that I'd lose most of my users because they'd have to do all that stuff manually. I'm frustrated with the pulse audio guys, not the brltty developers. You guys make an absolutely fantastic and essential piece of software which allows people to utilize their very expensive braille displays on linux, and it functions as a console screen reader to boot. This is a pulse problem. It's blocking the sound from getting through. It does the same with speakup, the screen reader built into the kernel. You can have pulseaudio use dmix instead of it's own internal mixer but doing so disables a lot of it's functionality, like being able to switch sound devices, control per application volume, etc. I don't know what to do next. We've tried everything we can think of to get brltty to speak and I just can't do it. Thanks Kendell Clark
