Of course, it was a problem of gnome-sound-preferences. Thank you very much, Colin, already solved!!!! <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 1:37 PM, Colin Guthrie <<a href="mailto:gmane@colin.guthr.ie">gmane@colin.guthr.ie</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">'Twas brillig, and Alvaro Alonso Jiménez at 09/12/09 11:11 did gyre and gimble: <div class="im">> Of course, I'm meaning that in System -> Preferences -> Sound, I dont > have the choice of PulseAudio... </div>I presume you mean gnome-sound-prefrences then? If so, AFAIK, the more recent Gnome version (this is a Gnome tool, not a PA tool) do not give the option to use ALSA any more. This dialog has been completely reworked to no longer give the user full control over the gstreamer preferences (as this is what the old dialog effectively was IIRC). I believe you can still bring up your gstreamer prefrences via: gstreamer-properties, it's possible the menu item just changed to point at a more appropriate tool. The gnome-sound-preferences app is now a frontend to PulseAudio so it will always be a PA specific tool. You'll probably get a more authoritative response from a Gnome IRC channel or Mailing list tho' as this is not technically part of the PulseAudio project itself, it's part of Gnome. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> HTHs Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)<a href="http://colin.guthr.ie" target="_blank">colin.guthr.ie</a> <a href="http://colin.guthr.ie/" target="_blank">http://colin.guthr.ie/</a> Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [<a href="http://www.tribalogic.net/" target="_blank">http://www.tribalogic.net/</a>] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [<a href="http://www.mandriva.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mandriva.com/</a>] PulseAudio Hacker [<a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</a>] Trac Hacker [<a href="http://trac.edgewall.org/" target="_blank">http://trac.edgewall.org/</a>] _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de">pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de</a> <a href="https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss" target="_blank">https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- Alvaro Alonso Jiménez Universidad Carlos III de Madrid NIA 100029618
