I should have made myself clearer. There were two options under #2 -- (A) removing pulseaudio from USD, or (B) just removing pulseaudio- esound-compat.
I would LOVE #A -- that pulseaudio NOT be automatically part of the ubuntu-studio-desktop. I never use pulseaudio, and never will. Not having to kill it every time I turn on the computer would be a gift of time to me, and it would make me happy. However, I can work around having pulseaudio installed. killall pulseaudio, everytime I turn on the computer. I NEED #B -- Once I have killed pulseaudio, I must be able to run alsa and wine effectively together. Right now, installing esound is the only way to do it. To get esound I must remove pulseaudio-esound-compat. The first option -- having pulseaudio-esound-compat and esound running side-by-side, seems confusing to me. But it wouldn't matter to me if the pulseaudio version were running or not, because I kill pulseaudio. So, this could be an option, from a developer perspective. -- installing esound requires removing ubuntu-studio-desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429311 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
