Alright in gnome whenever I log in pulseaudio works fine for some time but then after like 20 to 30 minutes, sometimes less it stops working and I get the message when I double click the volume control applet:
Connection failed : Connection refused
If I restart the system it works fine again for a while but fails again later on, this bug is really annoying, can’t even listen to music.
Any help? 
Personally, I have deleted every pulseaudio related files. It’s not that useful, since most sound applications have its own volume control, it eats cpu and it’s not stable.
Is there a guide or something to tell me how to do it, cause I tried once and still got that error, will it be stable by next release?
To remove every pulse audio files:
Go to yast and search for “pulse”. Search pulseaudio is not enough, since a lot of files only have “pulse” in it’s name.
Remove every files. Kill X and restart.
thanks and do I have to install anything else later on then?
and will the volume applet work?
No you don’t need to install anything, since alsa is already installed.
The volume applet will work, since it works with alsa and not pulseaudio.
oh yeah and will tell if I need any more help, thanks so far 
If you still want sound mixing in gnome, you should install esound.
was esound installed by default on 10.3? I am going to remove pulseaudio as soon as I finish download “kernel-source”
I tried pulseaudio with suse 10.3 some month ago and I had to remove the esound pacakge and replace it with pulseaudio-esound-compat.
Though it is not nessesary needed - who wants system sound anyway. I just wanted to tell you that it is recommended for gnome. 
oh so I need esound? ok, thanks
I don’t like pulseaudio either, but after I remove all packages of PulseAudio and installing esound I can’t control my sysetym volume, and I got this:
Failed to start Volume Control: Failed to execute child process "pavucontrol" (No such file or directory)
That show to me if I try to open volume control from Volume Applet in Gnome, and only I can open it from terminal
gnome-volume-control
Any idea to fix this?
Hard to fix this i guess. They deleted the old volume control applet which startet that manager. Master Control should still work, just the advanced control does not.
Guess we have to live with that.
why did they delete the old applet? :eek:
this sucks anything else we can do?
This issue is killing me too. I cannot desribe how i hate that buggy Pulse Audio. Now only if i knew how to fix that volume control applet…
I have searched for some options in gconf-editor, but withou a success Please somebody help fix this bug…
has this been reported?
Uhmm…somebody registered in Bugzilla should do it and report this issue. I don’t want to register and fill in all those personal informations…

“normal” mixer in my repo on the buildservice, I have removed the
pulseaudio patch.

This is for those of you that have removed pulseaudio (and using
gnome).
