9.10 and Pulseaudio...

[Russell McOrmond]

   I recently did a fresh install of 9.10 on a new machine, different 
than doing an upgrade.  With upgrades my ALSA audio setup was retained, 
but now pulseaudio is the default.

   Didn't notice it until I tried to run Skype and noticed that I 
couldn't set my "Microphone" and "Speakers" to go to my USB headset, but 
Rinding go to my speakers.   All it offers me now is "PulseAudio server 
(local)", with no other options.

   If I remove pulseaudio and install ALSA I can then get the settings, 
but there is no gnome volume control like existed in previous Ubuntu.

   So -- I'm curious what others have done.  Is there a way to configure 
PulseAudio such that different audio options are available in pulldowns 
in applications like Skype?  Should I just go back to ALSA and grab the 
gnome volume tool from Ubuntu 9.04 (or 8.10 if that is where it came 
from on my other machines)?
