Good deduction Watson!, but can you prove it? :) Can you live without pulse? You could do as Cameleon suggested, and look in that alsa-pulse.conf file, but I'm guessing it is generated on package install AND/OR is used to help generate the .pulse files in your home directory. File a bug with reportbug and attach the faulty alsa-pulse.conf file. -- "Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet." -- Napoleon Bonaparte -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
