Re: [gNewSense-users] gNewSense-users Digest, Vol 106, Issue 3

[Mikel L. Forcada]

Thanks guys.

I uninstalled pulseaudio. It took a lot of packages away with it
(still gauging the magnitude of the tragedy). Then I told VLC to use
ALSA as an output module, and CS5535 as the device, and it started to
work. Installing mozilla-plugin-vlc also helped iceweasel produce
sound (but whoever gets to ALSA first, locks it for other applications).
I am not completely sure of the quality of sound produced, but at least
I don't have a silent Lemote ;-). Looks like to make sound work I would
have to configure every single application to use ALSA... is there any
alternative to pulseaudio?

Thanks a million!

Mikel
