Traditionally the node.conf file was setup to use ESD sound in linux.<br><br>However, in Ubuntu the default is now PulseAudio. Although PulseAudio<br>is supposed to be a drop in replacement for ESD I'm wondering what differences in<br>
configuration of FREENX may need to be done.<br><br>For instance in NODE.CONF<br><br><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 12"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cbmullan%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><link rel="themeData" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cbmullan%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_themedata.thmx"><link rel="colorSchemeMapping" href="file:///C:%5CUsers%5Cbmullan%5CAppData%5CLocal%5CTemp%5Cmsohtmlclip1%5C01%5Cclip_colorschememapping.xml"><style>

<br>Should I be substituing "esddsp" with "padsp" for PulseAudio?<br><br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New";"> ESD_BIN_PRELOAD="<b>padsp</b>"</span><br><br>
I've also tried to follow some of the writeups for the "perfect pulseaudio" setup to go along with<br>this but I am curious how others do it.<br><br>Brian<br><br>
