Well, Ahmad, I don't go looking for problem apps, but I surely know when I
have found one. Foobillard is a wonderful snooker/billiards/pool game. Just
like the real thing it is also a great way to waste a few hours in the
evening. With the 2010.1 package it is now possible to do this in complete
silence. Sorry, not "possible" because it is now inevitable on a PC which is
not using Pulse.
It took me a couple of months of exploring and testing before I stumbled on
thge cause of the problem. The 2010.1 package (not the 2010.0 one; it
performs in glorious stereocolour) has been "enhanced" by the packager in a
way which introduces a Pulse dependency. When I found the offending script I
realised it could be fixed by deleting all but the last line. Now foobillard
shouts out loud and clear in pure Alsa. Whoopee. Tokk a long time to sort out
though, and I didn't get the clue until I had deleted all traces of Pulse.
I'm not smart enough to do it any other way. As long as I know I have no trace
of pulse on the machine I can better focus on getting stuff to work. Unlike
you, I cannot KNOW that disabling Pulse is enough. I can only BELIEVE it, and
I don't have enough faith for that yet.
