Thanks to both of you, going to implement both in Bodhi over the weekend. I think ubuntu is the most efficient of the distros that I've used in using Pulse the right way. <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 9:19 PM, David Henningsson <<a href="mailto:david.henningsson@canonical.com">david.henningsson@canonical.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">On 02/06/2012 06:35 PM, Joel Madero wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi All, Trying to pinpoint how Ubuntu handles pulse audio as it seems unique and more efficient.

Anyway, it's done through a udev rule, and what you're looking for is this: <a href="http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise/view/head:/debian/patches/0612-Add-port-information-to-HDMI-profiles.patch" target="_blank">http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio/ubuntu.precise/view/head:/debian/patches/0612-Add-port-information-to-HDMI-profiles.patch</a> It's currently a part of the jack detection stuff, and on my TODO list is to upstream the kcontrol implementation first (I guess it's time as this is now coming in Linux 3.3) and then this patch. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. <a href="http://launchpad.net/~diwic" target="_blank">http://launchpad.net/~diwic</a> </blockquote></div>
