It's called a "sound server". > Which means ( roughly, I'm not a translator ): > "So, the softwares which are using ALSA will send their output to > PulseAudio, which will then use ALSA to access the real sound card." Yes, but this is not ridiculous, a layer to handle audio streams is useful. Sure, pulseaudio does handle the audio streams in a ridiculous way, but we don't need to discuss this again. For averaged desktop usage I use ALSA without a sound server, for pro-audio I use jackd. For averaged desktop audio users pulseaudio does provide a more or IMO rather less way to handle audio streams. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
