Having Ubuntu 8.04 LTS actually work (apps play sounds at the same time) seems to be more important than maintaining perfect cross-variant package elegance on this one package.
Why not introduce an "alsa-pulse" package that (provides: alsa-lib; conflicts: alsa-lib; depends: pulseaudio) that consists of alsa-lib with pulse audio as the default device? Include that in the pulseaudio variants and the existing lib in the non-pulse variants. -- 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
