Well, the sound quality is very bad with alsa with even cracks when |
| 13 |
moving mouse or having network traffic. Even more I have a very bad |
| 14 |
experience with kernel panics when using alsa. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
On the other hand I always had pretty good sound with oss4 and no |
| 17 |
stability problems. |

I just started to look into overlays. Currently I use none. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
One of my main problems here is to see what the overlay is for. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Currently I use the 17.0/hardened profile only. |

I have no systemd, no consolekit and no "desktopenvironment". I use fvwm |
| 42 |
and lived well with using pulseaudio autostart when using an application |
| 43 |
that made use of it (cmus). |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
In fact, the pain with systemd on debian brought me to Gentoo. I have a |
| 46 |
history of over 20 years with debian but the quality is speeding up to |
| 47 |
decay since the switch to systemd was made. |

Thanks, will have a look. |

Is that a replacement to pulseaudio? If yes, that would be definitively |
| 60 |
a replacement. |

That was my experience on debian before too. |

Well, as it does not start at all, that does not work too. |
