[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio is terrible! How to bypass?

[Joerg Anders]

Hi!

I have many complaints from Ubuntu 9.10 /Fedora 11
users, because these systems have PulseAudio as
basic audio system.

Users without Hwrdware MIDI sound cannot use NtEd
   http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/nted.xhtml
with TiMidity++
   http://timidity.sourceforge.net/
using such complex soundfonts like this:
   http://alsa.opensrc.org/8MBGMSFX.SF2

See the appropriate chapter in NtEd documentation:

   http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/staff/jan/nted/doc/ch01s50.html

I recommend to:

   - create their own TiMidity++ from source
   - remove Pulsaudio from system

Both is terrible! Therefore: Could please anybody describe a how
to install Ubuntu 9.10 /Fedora 11 bypassing the installation of PulseAudio!
