** Description changed: PROBLEM: PulseAudio is unable to determine basic information about my sound system, despite the fact that the information is readily available. System is a Dell Inspiron 530N Processor - Intel Core2, 1.60GHz Memory - 1 Gig Video Card - NVidia GeForce 7300LE Sound Card - Intel 82801I (ICH 9 family) HD Audio Controller Operating System: Ubuntu 9.04 Beta (Jaunty Jackalope) Linux Kernel - 2.6.28-11-generic This system is up-to-date with package updates as of March 30, 2009, 10:54 PM Mountain Standard Time (UTC -7), or April 1, 2009, 05:00 UTC This card is capable of AT LEAST 44100 Hz sampling and AT LEAST 5.1 Surround Sound. Yet what I get from PulseAudio (via the system log) is: Mar 30 16:18:51 tyche-jaunty pulseaudio[3270]: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 22050 Hz. Mar 30 16:18:51 tyche-jaunty pulseaudio[3270]: alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 2 channels, changed to 1. This is an unacceptable situation, made worse by the fact that it takes extraordinary measures to turn off PulseAudio so that Alsa (which IS - installed) can do it's job. Monaural sound, to someone listening to + installed) can do its job. Monaural sound, to someone listening to serious, Classical music is unacceptable. Installing PulseAudio and initializing it by default is a regression of ability. Installing it and initializing it by default then hiding any ability to kill it is Microsoft style thinking. We are supposed to be better than that. SOLUTION: Stop initializing PulseAudio by default. If people want to install it and use it, it should be a choice.
