Between Fedora 12 and 13Between Fedora 12 and 13Posted Dec 3, 2009 6:46 UTC (Thu) by mezcalero (subscriber, #45103)Parent article: Between Fedora 12 and 13
Wow, a piece about the quality/bugginess of a Fedora release and PulseAudio is not mentioned neither in the article itself nor any of the pages linked?
Seems my powers to piss off people have weakened!
/me thinks about additional adventurous ways to break audio on F13.

They call it mature software :) it pretty much works for everyone now.
(btw I installed Fedora 12 and PulseAudio ate my dog and burned my house down. It's all your fault, esound would never have done any of these things.)

I often feel that pulseaudio has an undeserved reputation for being problematic. However, at the same time, I can't remember the last time I saw a modern Linux install have working sound right off the bat. If nothing else, the sound is usually muted at boot, and you can no longer sanely get to a mixer to fix that.

Eh? What? There's one on the panel like always. If you right-click it, there's a 'mute' checkbox. Hard to think how that could get much easier. gnome-volume-control is right there in the menus like it's always been. Sure, it's a rather different app since F11, but it still has a mute button. Not quite sure what you're talking about.
But yeah, audio is often muted at boot. I filed a bug for my case and Lennart looked into it a bit, then it seemed to magically stop happening while we were debugging it, but it happens again with F12 final live images. Oh well. It's not hard to unmute it, once.

Pulseaudio has reached a stage that is comparable to when Duke Nukem Forever got the lifetime achievement award for vaporware. Everybody knew the situation sucked, but everyone is tired of repeating what has already been said a million times.
Judging from the history of Duke Pulseaudio will be in the spotlight again. My guess is that a good working Pulseaudio (for everybody) it will always be always right around the corner just before the thing is dropped and something better/simpler/more elegant comes along.

It would be a mistake to rush such an important component of the Linux desktop. The major
philosophical points are well covered here:
