I agree this *is* a bug. What once worked properly in a previous version (skype/flash for example) no longer works.
I have no right to rant on (I sure didn't pay for Ubuntu and nobody for forced me to install it!), but there must be literally thousands of users wondering why their commonly used applications no longer work in Hardy where they once worked just fine. The kind of user this will be affecting most is the new user who doesn't know about IRC, or these bug reports etc. PulseAudio is a great sound server. This effectively renders programs such as Skype useless for this rather large group of users. This is easily enough to put a large chunk of users off Ubuntu all together. Obviously it's a good idea to push these new technologies, but I think this was a poor choice at this time. I think a really good solution could be (or still can be) to have the option of disabling pulseaudio (perhaps a little popup balloon thing shortly after installation of ubuntu.) Perhaps if enough people voice their opinion, something will happen. I apologise if this sounds like a rant, but I truly believe this is a bug in Ubuntu. -- Please Disable Pulse Audio In New Hardy Installs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220759 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
