I get this message too. Also not using pulseaudio before I upgraded, but karmic installed it for me on upgrade.
My sound buttons are now broken after I uninstalled pulse audio. Was on an irc channel earlier talking with a bunch of people about what to do who had the same problem. I had to restart ubuntu after I uninstalled pulseaudio, as the uninstall did not stop pulse audio. A bunch of applications started using up all my cpu once pulse audio was stopped, and I had to restart my laptop. I guess the pulseaudio client library is buggy with regard to when pulse audio stops. I had to uninstall pulse audio, since it used up a constant 3% cpu even when there was no sound coming out... making my battery flat, and keeping my fans running reducing the lifetime of my laptop. -- Waiting for sound system to respond https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/400973 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
