2009-01-11 07:19:19 Daniel T Chen pulseaudio: statusexplanation I can't reproduce this symptom in 9.04. Please try again. I tested using the ~/.asoundrc pasted in my previous comment. I can also use a second (hw:1) usb audio device. PulseAudio, in its default configuration returns an error, as proper/expected.

2009-01-15 23:37:16 Daniel T Chen alsa-plugins: statusexplanation I tested using the ~/.asoundrc pasted in my previous comment. I can also use a second (hw:1) usb audio device. PulseAudio, in its default configuration returns an error, as proper/expected. I've just verified the following: 1) a default jaunty daily-live skips ~/.asoundrc if pulseaudio is running 2) a default jaunty daily-live honours ~/.asoundrc if pulseaudio is *not* running As this behaviour is intentional (note the name of the hook!), I'm closing this bug.

2009-01-18 20:35:10 Daniel T Chen description Binary package hint: pulseaudio Even if I define a pcm.!default section in ~/.asoundrc, /usr/share/pulse-alsa.conf overrides this definition, so the default alsa output is always pulseaudio. If I comment the pcm.!default and ctl.!default in /usr/share/alsa/pulse-alsa.conf everything behaves as normal. Using Intrepid amd64. SRU information follows: Impact statement: Users of Ubuntu 8.10 find that their ~/.asoundrc is ignored due to one missing entry in /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf. This symptom affects all users with the pulseaudio package installed *and* the daemon (regardless of system-wide or per-user session instance) running. Bug resolution: The missing line [to include ~/.asoundrc] is added to /usr/share/alsa/pulse.conf. The change to the errors line mimics libasound2's /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf [to not throw an error upon a missing ~/.asoundrc]. With these changes, users of default Ubuntu 8.10 will have their ~/.asoundrc, if extant, honoured with highest priority. If ~/.asoundrc is missing, the current behaviour of pulseaudio overriding {pcm,ctl}.default is retained. This change is available in the following bzr changeset: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~crimsun/pulseaudio/ubuntu/revision/37. SRU patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21329690/pulseaudio_0.9.10-2ubuntu9.3.debdiff Instructions to reproduce the symptom: Create an ~/.asoundrc with the following contents only: # --- begin --- pcm.!default { type plug slave hw:5,0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 5 } # --- end --- After a fresh GNOME session login, open Applications> Accessories> Terminal, and use `speaker-test -Ddefault -c2' to verify these three symptoms: 1) the speaker-test output continues to play (until interrupt, ctrl+c) through the PulseAudio-configured default device; 2) no errors are generated by alsa-lib. These two symptoms verify that ~/.asoundrc is ignored. Regression potential: Users who have a misconfigured ~/.asoundrc will notice that native ALSA apps refuse to start and throw alsa-lib error(s), which can be resolved by removing ~/.asoundrc.

With these changes, users of default Ubuntu 8.10 will have their /etc/asound.conf and ~/.asoundrc, if extant, honoured with higher priority than the configuration shipped by pulseaudio, thereby restoring expected alsa-lib runtime conf behaviour (for native ALSA applications) prior to intrepid. If either /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc is missing, the current intrepid behaviour of pulseaudio overriding {pcm,ctl}.default is retained.
