I don't. I disagree with his most important point: It's no good |
| 10 |
to post as much information as possible. Instead, the amount of |
| 11 |
information posted should be "condensed" to only the important |
| 12 |
pieces. |

Now, please go back and read Alans first post in the thread. It |
| 26 |
absolutely did not sound, as if he even wanted to help. |

Well, no, not as possible, but rather "as required". And that's been |
| 32 |
done. |

Yes. That's been done. Once more: The problem was, because rhythmbox |
| 38 |
of Gnome 2.20 is missing an (indirect) dependency on gst-plugins-alsa. |
| 39 |
That's fixed in 2.22. |

Oh, so it's now my fault for responding to a flamebait? Nice. It's |
| 46 |
not the aggressor who's doing something wrong? |
