help! :) completely up to date on Debian testing.
i'm not a sound guru, rhythmbox has not been working for a while with the error message: Failed to open output device: Unable to prepare device vlc, firefox, games, all play things without errors. i do not have pulse audio installed, (running MATE desktop) other than a few bits which seem to be required... any ideas? i've tried other versions going back but it seems to not make any difference now. songbird
