It’s not just endlessly reinventing the wheel, it’s often dropping the new wheels onto the piles of old wheels underneath. I’ve noticed similar things on Linux where looking for how to set something up in ALSA, I find many forum posts telling someone to just install PulseAudio (I’m yet to find anything that I need to do that PulseAudio can do and ALSA can’t)! The answer to how to solve one simple problem should not be to install an additional layer of complexity over the top of whatever you were using.

who needs a sound server of there is already dmix in alsa? except you need to stream audio over network (pulseaudio) or need low latency mixing (JACK)
from the #pinebook irc room.
couldnt agree more.

եթէ դա էլ չի օգնում, ու դուք օգտագործում էք pulseaudio (ուբունթու֊ում լռելեայն) — սպանէք այն։ սպանէք կրակով։ (sudo killall pulseaudio)։

If this does not help and you use pulseaudio (default on Ubuntu), kill it. Kill it with fire. (sudo killall pulseaudio).

oh no, firefox now requires pulseaudio to play audio.
and I have USE=”-pulsaudio” always. well, I have actually MINUS=”-pulsaudio -systemd …”, and then I have USE="$MINUS $GENERAL $CODECS…”.
sigh. time to quit firefox? i was saying that chromium is a very attractive girl but i would not leave my lovely firefox. may be seamonkey would be my default choice now. i am really confused. #firefox #seamonkey #pulseaudio #gentoo
