i have just installed openSUSE 11.1, and wish to completely disable
pulseaudio, as it destroys my sound and offers no functional value to me
( KDE 4 self compiled trunk user )
The checkbox in YAST > Hardware > Sound, Advanced > Pulseaudio
Configuration, “Enable pulseaudio” is unchecked, as is the default, yet
every single audio application still starts it >:(
Any ideas? I am considering removing the pulseaudio Xine plugin.
Thanks for the hint! I had following problem: after starting or ending
KDE 4.1.3 (opensuse 11.1) the loudspeakers made a clicking noise :.
After removing the alsa-plugin-pulse and libxine1-pulse everything is
fine :).
I found out the reason for the ugly click noise: It only occurs when
the laptop (Dell Precision M4400) runs with battery. If the notebook is
on the power line everything is fine! Hence, the powermanagment is the
reason for the problem.

In openSUSE 11.0 or 10.3 I had problems with due to pulseaudio:
no sound in flash (=no youtube). Now with every fresh installation
I try to completely remove all pulseaudio packages.
I wonder why is it needed at all?
I think it should be useful for some tasks or …?
Same problem here. Playing videofiles using pulseaudio in the xine
plugin I get a lot of sound droppings. Setting the xineplugin (using the
kaffeine configuration dialogs) to alsa everything works like a charme
again. I think there is something wrong with the pulseaudio programm.
