Pulseaudio still buggy in Karmic

[David Robert Lewis (ethnopunk)]

Thanks, I think one of those links to the forum is actually mine. 
:-)     After trolling around I managed to fix the problem by deleting 
the .pulse directory and reinstalling.  It does appear to be some form 
of bug.  Not sure when it's going to be fixed in pulseaudio though. I 
still find pulseaudio a little unstable in karmic and the pavcontrol 
quits a lot when you  play with it.

Pulseaudio was introduced in Intrepid Ibex so its nearly three 
generations of Ubuntu later and still not what it should be. I found a 
lot of posts where people just removed it entirely. There's also talk 
about an Alsa bug which affects Pulseaudio so maybe the problem is 
conflict between the two systems?

Take a look at

Thank again, always good to get support, even if it was late.

Regards

David.
