I've been somewhat curious about using pulse, but there have been several emails on this list suggesting that it isn't as easy as just removing esound and installing some pulseaudio* packages. Something that I did a few months ago on my Sid desktop boxes. I haven't noticed any change after that; sound just kept on working. One thing that seems to be missing from most pages/posts are instructions to see what the current setup really is. After installing the pulseaudio* packages I'm still no wiser as to whether I'm using them or not. So, how do I know what my current (working) audio setup actually is? /M
