Another day.

Another Linux sound system.

Talk about total confusion.

How many different sound systems are we up to now?
Like ten?

You Linux guys can't even get ALSA working properly, and easily, yet you
keep churning out one sound system after another.

And Linux nuts wonder why average Jane considers desktop Linux a joke....

Linux operates on the survival of the fittest. Unlike Windows products,
they compete and it isn't a monopoly.

You could not be more wrong. Because there is no commercial need for
most Linux stuff, even the crap stay there. I hate to tell you but most
SW used on Windows is not from MS. It is from competing commercial
companies.

I mean, really, could you be more clueless?

Are you joking? Linux sound architecture is a joke at the moment.

Here's the Pulseaudio "how to make it work" wiki:

http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup

And thats the easy bit. There are many distro specific hacks and the
need to compile from CVS in many cases.

I did absolutely nothing with my sound setup, in either Hardy or
Gutsy, it all just worked. My use of sound is mostly watching movies
or listening to music.

Yes, well, good for you.

Open up a second x screen on your TV. Play a totem movie
there. Now test your system sounds and try to play youtube in flash or
a bbc player item in iceweasel. Also try something like gnubiff to alert
you with audio of a new email and/or listen to amarok or a radio
stream. Does it all work together?

Audio under Linux is a complete clusterfsck.
It has been that way for years and it continues to be that way.
