+1!
I am totally lost as to how the chain of soundcard -> sc driver -> alsa
-> PulseAudio -> Phonon, various players + plugins works.
Every layer of software is a potential show stopper. While I understand
obscuring details from the end user via encapsulation, I think this is
getting ridiculous. Too much encapsulation makes troubleshooting very
difficult. Is it an alsa or PulseAudio problem ? Or the sound card
driver ? Or the plug in ?
