Howdy folks, Yes...I too am still lurking here, but I've been significantly distracted by hospital visits, biopsies...and right now, being part of a clinical study investigating a currently trial version of a treatment, which (hopefully) *may* cure my hepatitis type C genome 1 (which is the isolated strain I've been subsequently diagnosed as having)...which, sadly, really 'knocks the wind out of my sails'...due to various known side effects. One of these side effects, totally deranges my concentration levels, which is most annoying (I should write a book entitled "A day on the life of the human guinea-pig" ;) Otherwise, I'm still okay and onboard here - just under medical duress as it were <grin>... Hmm...seems a recent hotmail update has decided not to quote the original posting I'm replying to here...but...I have read recent postings... -pulseaudio- ; never seen anything good written about this (I can imagine Alan Cox ranting about this like he did wrt esound ;) In fact, AFAICT, a lot of ubuntu users actually uninstall this animal and fall back to using the ALSA layer instead, and a lot of their problems (with sound) simply disappear in that moment... -soundcard- ; using the 'bang for your buck' principle drawn above a line of 'functionality and support', I still think one of the best buys is a creative soundblaster !Live or Audigy card...imho of course... So...that's =my= status at present ; hopefully I'll be back on deck properly near the end of the year/early 2010, once the current round of clinical studies has concluded...
