linux rocks:) i'm sure there is a way to reset pulse when it crashes:) without a reboot

Kubuntu 9.10 fully updated to KDE SC 4.4 is very nice (10.04 is better though, the Alpha already works better with wireless broadband modems). Arch is more like a do-it-yourself kit racing car. If you have the time to spend on it, its quite rewarding, and you get a great rolling-release distro out of it.

Nice to hear that some other distros (and the alternate Ubuntu packages) are avoiding PulseAudio. Unfortunately, I tried Kubuntu 8.04, and had some complaints about it. I've heard of Arch Linux, but never tried it. I'll have to try it in a virtual box some time.

Kubuntu doesn't use PulseAudio and my system is working fine. I have also installed Arch and am playing about with it. I rather like the Pacman package manager.

I'm sharing your pain. The unfortunate bit is that I had switched back to Ubuntu after trying openSuSE 11.2 and having sound issues with PA. From what I've read, a lot of Linux Distros are going to PulseAudio, and there is no real good reason as to why.
I'm hoping the Linux community will drop PA, it would really help.

I think it's very entertaining to see that your crashing Pulseaudio, but on the other hand windows would have crashed after opening 6 movies side-by-side xD

I constantly get sound drop outs and lose audio. I have to kill FAILaudio to get my audio back ! Just a few moments ago I had several YouTube vids ready to play and I lost audio and could not get it back. Again had to kill FAILaudio and restart my web browser as the sound wouldn't work again till I restarted it, so I had to buffer the vids again.
And if I try to uninstall it, I'm told that Ubuntu is dependant on it and it will screw my system.
Screw this, I'm finding another distro.
Wow! What are the specs on your computer?!??!
