Seriously, I am not trolling. Maybe it is just my system configuration. I have a simple Athlon Thunderbird old system with an Audigy sound card with HD. I have the latest Fedora 9 beta plus daily updates from rawhide.
Pulseaudio dies about once a day on me. I leave my computer running continuously. I have been thinking about making a script that performs a 'pulseaudio -kill; pulseaudio' and attach it to a desktop button to save me some time. It seems as if you use a a lot of different media: mpegs, mp3, Flash video via Firefox pulseaudio eventually dies and you get that annoying "cannot connect to the server" message. Perhaps it is just my particular system having this problem. The features are nice but the reliability is just not so hot.
I am beginning to wonder if maybe it should be an option in the sound config GUI pulseaudio on/off. Or maybe give an option during installation to enable the sound server. I feel like the feature is neat but it also a pain in the rear. Anyone else here agree?
