Updated pulseaudio packages correct various bugs
The pulseaudio package shipped with Mandriva 2008 Spring does not
remember a default device setting across sessions. If a user were to
use pavucontrol to select an alternate default device, it will only
work for that session. Logging out then back in again will revert
back to the system default.
A separate issue also prevents the settings in client.conf from working
when pulse is started under an X11 session (which is the default way
of starting pulseaudio). This is because the client.conf has a lower
priority than the X11 root window properties.
This update addresses both these issues, but please note that
pulseaudio remembers the per-stream device preferences, so only
new streams that have not been played before will routed to any
new default device you pick. This can be remedied by removing the
~/.pulse/volume-restore.table file before logging in to a graphical
session or by moving the individual streams manually in pavucontrol
as required.
