Don't get me started! <chuckles> Pulse works just dandy ...except for
Basil. Did you ever install pavucontrol?? That knackers up a lot of
people because ~~it isn't installed by default~~ and, without that,
you're hosed. Alsa is talking to pulse and visa versa, but without
pavucontrol pulse is not configured more than half-assed! Some just get
lucky without it. So, tossing the baby out with the bath water isn't the
cure. 

By dang, if you ever got it running correctly, you'd love it. You'd
swear by it. You'd name your next man child "Pulse". If by some MIRACLE,
I managed to procreate, I would! :) Ric

p/s I gotta make the trip to downunder just to meet all the
upside-down-people on this list. As the Small Faces said, it would be a
"mind blast."
