Roberto, you make a perfect point and anybody having any common sense is bound to agree with you. Answering your question, on my machine it's flashplugin-nonfree that causes troubles, not freeing up sound until I close the browser alltogether.
And I think ALSA emulation would better be more complete, so that PA- enabled programs don't block sound from not-PA-enabled ones. It's a real pity to miss Skype calls or some notifications via aplay while watching a movie in Totem, for example. -- PulseAudio prevents programs relying on ALSA to work correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198453 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
