:) np. I just wanted to avoid the generalization that I perceived that
: "pulseaudio is broken universally". It "just works" for a vast
: majority of users.

Your setup seems to be quite a special case of multi-card setup with
convoluted alsa configuration. You may need to try contacting the
pulseaudio devs for advice and/or assistance. I'd highly recommend
posting to:
https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss if you
hadn't already done so.

And is yet another list I have to subscribe to before I can post. I 99%
solved the problem with the removal of it.

To add insult to injury, there isn't even a search function to check the
archives of the list! Good grief.

I saved the bookmark, but I'm not sure why.

except that there was no injury...just your own failure to make it work
for you.

I would suggest that you are rather heavy handed on usage/setup of your
system which as you know is one of the luxuries of Linux in that you can
do things your way and in so many different ways.

The simple fact is that pulseaudio like LVM and other things are not for
everyone but you can function without it.

I do detect a pattern though...it's the same one that had you giving up
on NFS and using samba for filesharing because you couldn't make NFS
work.

And now, even samba seems to have failed, with ubuntu apparently using an
incompatible version. I was backing up the kubuntu's machines /home
directory with amanda, but I never got around to rebuilding the amanda client
after finding the hard way that that particular machine apparently cannot
tolerate 2 pata hard drives, it seemed to like to trash the filesystems on
both in a week, but with just one drive it runs for years.

I did have nfs running between them, for about a week, but local weather
created a power failure that outlasted both UPS's, and that hasn't worked
since the reboots. And typical of nfs when it fails, no error msg, it just
doesn't mount.

I also just tried to make rsync connect, and the lack of a root account on the
kubuntu machine causes a password fail. su'ing to the user who would do that
and I get a scrambled, invalid path returned as incapable of being accessed.
That I can probably figure out given time, I did do that for the backup for a
couple of years. Other than losing some gcode I've written, and the configs
for those drives, that machine is re-installable from scratch to a working
milling machine in about an hour.

I would like to state for the record that like Rex, I have many, many
systems running with pulseaudio and no problems.

And how many of those involve using the motherboard, a generally simple audio
system for something like skype, and a real audio card (if indeed one can
call an Audigy2 Value (SBO400, driven by emu10k1) a real audio card, but at
least it is not a winmodem) for all other system sound duties, each to be
totally isolated from the other?

If you do have such a setup, please share how you did it. Show *me* the .conf
files that achieve that. Examples are worth 10k words (inflation) you know.
