I keep reading comments on this list that one can remove pulseaudio from f9 and it will run like a normal alsa system.
I have removed alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and libflashsupport
from my f9 system, rebooted. Sound in Flash in Firefox works just fine, but aplay doesn't. If aplay doesn't work I wonder about mplayer, totem, and the other sound producing programs that I havent tested.
So, is there anything else I should be removing to get back to 'just alsa' ????
I would really like to understand what is going on here.
