xfce sound

[Dirk Jakobsmeier]

Hello all,

after all the configuration, sound is working now. But it seems that it
only works using pulseaudio. Otherwise if sound is enabled in xfce4
config you have to /sbin/alsa force-reload every time you are logged in.
Seems that xfce is locking the audio devices. I don´t know if i like
pulseaudio to run. But as i use compiz i have to search for a way to
make this use the xdg system (freedesktop.org).

Again many thanks for all the good informations.

Dirk
