FAIK. Anyway, it was far buggier than PA ever was. Pure ALSA works fine if you only need one sound at a time and don't need/want stuff like per source volume, and don't mind Flash sometimes messing up and blocking all access to the sound card. Cheers, Kelly Clowers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE

Re: Swap partition vs swap file

Pretty sure the partition is far more common. The file version is there if you need it, but hopefully you don't. Having the pages sit in a file on top of a filesystem just adds some extra layers, probably decreases performance a bit, AFAIK On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 12:23 PM, David Guntner wrote: >
