Some basic Pulseaudio Questions

[Linux for blind general discussion]

pulseaudio can be used in console mode.

speakup and mplayer won't fight if pulseaudio is set to use dmix and you
dont name the sound devices using the hw: syntax.

You can also use apulse to "fake" pulseaudio but actually use alsa.
For instance: apulse mplayer <some song>

You can also use Slint instead of Debian that provides the above out of
the box <smile>
