I have answered your none-question. I am using a wide range of |
24 |
applications (firefox&flash, chromium, vlc, mplayer, alsaplayer etc pp) |
25 |
a lot of them at the same time, starting in different orders AND I NEVER |
26 |
HAD A PROBLEM. It does not matter if flash starts first, then vlc then |
27 |
alsaplayer then mplayer or chromium first, then xine then firefox. IT |
28 |
JUST WORKS. |

The only thing missing is wine. Hmm... maybe it IS wine? But why using a |
31 |
broken-by-design sounddaemon to paper over wine bugs, if there are a |
32 |
couple of easy ways to solve the problem once and for all? Without |
33 |
introducing lag and additional bugs. ie - fix wine. Or don't use it in |
34 |
the first place. |

No, by fat I mean its absolute humongous size. The crap its vomits into |

my $HOME adds just insult to injury. |

well, from time to time I try wine with this and that app. Speed? |
58 |
Abysmal - if the app works at all. |

Btw, who is doing that 'documentation'? Phoronix? |

great for you. AT WORK I just use the XP box to do windows jobs. At the |
72 |
end it is so much easier. |

And I am afraid that you are just talking because you like the sound of |
