Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I can work with pulseaudio either removed or suspended, and have tried both.
My preferred method is purge because I use speech recognition software through
wine.
For a couple of weeks, pulseaudio has not removed itself properly, making all
my audio applications -- not just those that run in wine -- misbehave.
Example:
I turn on Audacity (the Linux version) and select one of my alsa soundcards,
either onboard or USB.
I hit the record key.
Recording is faint and one-channel, but there is recording.
I stop recording.
I start it again.
The program freezes.
This is a severe problem for me right now because I rely on Dragon
NaturallySpeaking running through wine. It also affects every gamer
whose game requires sound input.
