This is a bug report, not a forum. Pulseaudio's current state is not perfect, and it might really be the future, or not. If this is bringing trouble to any of you, just uninstall it. It will require uninstalling ubuntu-desktop also, but this will only be needed when you upgrade to the next release, so this is really a non-issue at this time.
Without pulseaudio, alsa works with everything else, so this is what everyone complaining here should use. Please stop spamming the report, unless you have new information to add. (And no, I'm not a developer, nor related to Ubuntu or canonical in any sense). -- 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
