That is the exact reason I started using pulseaudio. It has worked wonderfully in Testing till about last week or so. An upgrade seems to have broken its playback my PCI speakers. But if I send the audio to my USB headset, they appear to be working fine. As I have said at other times, the ability to 'hot swap' the audio sink in pulseaudio is a wonderful feature. I struggled a lot to make my USB headset work with alsa, but IIRC every method involved a kludge and application restart. PA solved all of that. Once I got PA working, I have never looked back .... but the current package in Debian Testing is giving me some problems. I have filed a bug though. -- Please reply to this list only.
