As noted, running pulseaudio through dmix is almost certainly a bad idea. Which means that, short of disabling pulseaudio by default (not a great idea one week before release as it would leave us with the converse problem of re-testing everything without pulseaudio), any fix for this needs to happen in alsa-lib rather than in pulseaudio.
Leaving the ubuntu-8.04 milestone in place, but in practice we need to get a pretty high degree of confidence, pretty quickly, in any proposed fix in order to get it in on time. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid Target: ubuntu-8.04 => None ** Changed in: alsa-lib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High Status: New => Confirmed Target: None => ubuntu-8.04 -- Default ALSA device must use PulseAudio, otherwise ALSA applications may fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198453 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
