7/29/2023 0 Comments Alsa vs pulseaudio![]() ![]() ![]() PulseAudio in Buster or Sid can now be configured to avoid resampling which was the main reason many people (audiophiles) did not want to use it. It's great when I need to watch an online video about some workflow or new plugin. I even have it running when doing audio production with JACK using Pulse>JACK bridge. I hated PulseAudio when it first appeared but it's come a long way and I now welcome our new audio overlord. ![]() Yeah I know dmix can be configured but Pulse enables multiple sound source mixing so it's just easier. When selecting ALSA it grabs exclusive use of the sound card which baffled me recently, I couldn't get a YouTube video to play because I had Gmusicbrowser paused. I can select either sound server in a program which supports it such as DeadBeef, Audacious, or Gmusicbrowser and it works. ![]() I have a sid system in which ALSA and PA happily coexist. ![]()
