Wisdom and sigline material right there.

Not sure it was ever anything more than a control thing on their part.

My laptop is an older AMD, and it will indeed run almost fine with free firmware as will most i've tried in Daedalus, but there are some small boot errors like yours and my machine will not suspend properly without the firmware-amd-graphics package.

In Excalibur in tests so far on my old lappy, it has worse errors if I don't have that firmware package as I couldn't get past lightdm without it.

@spliskin, timely post lol https://lists.debian.org/debian-securit … 00218.html

I really don't. I'm still trying to learn C, just squashed a few more bugs in stuff I thought was done, lol.

Haven't used rust, have read a fair bit about it... the code itself is a little weird, looks like my cat walked across my keyboard. I understand the principles and the need to guard against issues, memory leaks and such.

But having worked now in C for a short time, I assumed that was just part of the process, you write the code then you test it, debug it, test it some more, check error logs, watch the task manager for hanging processes, trace glitches etc. until it's fully demonstrated to work perfectly as you can make it.

You're still going to have to do all that stuff in rust too regardless of the baby buggy bumpers, or are they claiming that if it compiles at all then it's good and doesn't need testing?

Help me out here, i'm trying to learn.

This never got fixed?

Edited: I came off unnecessarily harsh last night and didn't mean to, was frustrated at the time, sorry about that.

I wouldn't call anything to do with Pulse harmless, I dislike it as much as you do, but in this case it's not doing anything Igor. Nothing wrong with going to the lengths you have gone to, but it's based on a false premise, and so in effect you're posting a false alarm with incorrect data.

I'm not trying for bit-perfect anything here, i'll leave stuff like that to the audio forums and people with novel-length .asoundrc's.

If it bugs a person that much, you can probably get rid of it a lot easier by just deleting the 2 pulse .so files in the alsa-lib folder, lol.

In any case, the only reason I posted in your thread the last couple days is because another user tagged me and asked a question, so I answered it and now i'll leave you to it and not bother you anymore today.

Interesting stuff and I agree with you about the need to simplify things, tagged so I can check out your work later. A DUR would be nice to have, I have some things that could go into it myself. Thanks for posting!

No it doesn't, that's a myth. Alsa doesn't do squat unless you tell it to, so unless you've explicitly called pulse in a conf file, that plugin won't do anything. There's several plugins in that package like Jack in addition to Pulse, are you claiming that all of them are "intercepting" or is it just pulse that has you paranoid?

Your whole gig is basically a solution looking for a problem.

My Alsa is arguably "purer" than yours simply because there has been no mucking about with re-compiling plugins to remove functionality and sample-rate hacking. And it's going to stay that way.

FYI to all reading you do NOT have to install or compile various random github packages to have a working Alsa system or to have it sound good, or to have sound in Firefox. Don't blithely accept one or another individual's nonsense about what should sound best for you... judge for yourselves.

There is music, created by an artist, then there's you. Discretion is required for anyone you let get between you and that music. Ask yourself; are they an artist? Are they an engineer? Are they a sound technician? Or are they some random person who writes (or merely copy/pastes) code and puts it on the internet and tries to convince you that your hearing is flawed if you don't agree with their perception?

My Alsa is fine, thanks. Sounds great in fact, sitting here listening to Iron Maiden right now, as the artists intended it to sound.

An EQ is for evening out the frequency response to match the inverse of their personal Fletcher-Munson curve, which of course differs in all individuals as much or more than their fingerprints do. This is basic simple stuff every real tech learns year one.

I believe in giving a user the choice to decide for themselves what to install, my job in my projects is simply to give them a solid working base to build on.

There's a LOT of stuff in Linux that originated with some red-hatter, I don't know of any way to get a list, but I see redhat in scripts and docs all the time.
