I must admit that pulseaudio project indeed have solved some problems with audio on linux, but - it have created many problems not existing before as well, f.e. it causes problems with older applications, which are using alsa mixer.thanatos_incarnate wrote:BTW, siggen doesn't work with my setup either, but I have PulseAudio.
Maybe that's the problem? PulseAudio snuck in with some desktop as dependency
during upgrade?

Because they imagine that they are just so much smarter than everyone who came before them (*cough*systemd*cough*).
FOSS cultists are held hostage by what FOSS cultists decided on years and decades ago that is why and if they think independently they will be shunned by FOSS cultists and flamed. The issue is that Debian and most other linux distributions refuse to distinguish between the profiles of the common users: home desktop users and corporations who want servers and enterprise workstations. For example whoever is running a headless server without X windows, maybe it is a good idea to run a few years out-date software, but probably not a half-decade old or older though like Debian stable prefers. But why include in debian-stable stuff like youtube-downloader, smtube(search and view youtube in a program without a web browser and view videos in programs like mplayer/mpv/vlc), subliminal(subtitle downloader)? It is just retarded or to use a better terminology the stupid way of the linux cultists. Old versions of such software will simply not work well or at all -- period, youtube constantly changes their api, so do subtitle sites. Server and enterprise users don't care about such programs being included, while home users who do are punished by having Youtube-dl constantly tell them it cannot download a file because the API changed years and years ago several times over.weedeater64 wrote: Also, Debian loves to brag about how it has 20,000 packages, but how many of those 20,000 packages stopped working years ago?

Debian ships an operating system that prides itself on stability. The Debian definition of stability is a very specific one - rather than referring to how often the software crashes or misbehaves, it refers to how often the software changes behaviour. Debian is very reluctant to upgrade software that is part of a stable release, to the extent that developers will attempt to backport individual security fixes to the version they shipped rather than upgrading to a release that contains all those security fixes but also adds a new feature. The argument here is that the new release may also introduce new bugs, and Debian's users desire stability (in the "things don't change" sense) more than new features. ...
