I feel the same, and I've started using xfce4 instead of gnome3 because |
9 |
they don't require any sound daemon (yet) and the new gnome-shell won't |
10 |
run on my old video hardware anyway. |

I just scanned through the gnome-control-center code looking for clues |
13 |
about pulse and found no sign that pulse is voluntary. There are no |
14 |
config options to enable or disable pulse, so it appears that pulse is |
15 |
here to stay in gnome3. |

I doubt that one in a hundred computer users would know how to use pulse |
19 |
to fix sound problems even *if* pulse is the right solution. A long way |
20 |
yet to go before pulse will be anything but a curse to me :( |
