Do you have links to the bugs? |

I have libcanberra compiled with PA support, so I can use it with |
| 19 |
other sound sources at the same time. |

And the players output to PulseAudio directly or through the ALSA |
| 26 |
emulation? In GNOME 2 you could configure GStreamer (which both |
| 27 |
Rhythmbox and Banshee use) to use PulseAudio as default sink, or using |
| 28 |
ALSA; but it PA is running, newer versions will automagically detect |
| 29 |
it and use it [1]. I use GNOME 3 and PA is mandatory, so I don't |
| 30 |
remember exactly how it was. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Sorry for my curiosity, but it sounds really weird: I have heard a lot |
| 33 |
about PA problems, but nothing like this. |
