# Issue

* Patch to alsa-plugins causes regression in java applet (webex)

## Environment

Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS x86
sun-java6-plugin-6.24-1build0.10.04.1
linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.32-32-generic
libasound2-plugins-1.0.22-0ubuntu6

Dell Latitude 2120

## Resolution

* (workaround) Disable pulseaudio and use alsa directly
* Revert patch debian/patches/lp464008lp503174.patch which ignores underruns

## Diagnostic Steps

1. Connect to a webex meeting
2. Speak to a user, confirm mic and audio is working correctly
3. Shout loudly/tap microphone and watch java app adjust mic volume
4. Observe that with headphones you can no longer hear the other user
5. Use package that reverts patch from http://people.canonical.com/~trellis/alsa/libasound2-plugins_1.0.22-0ubuntu6~tellis01_i386.deb
6. Repeat and notice all works well

## Other information

Ran pulseaudio debug logs for both good and bad packages and attaching to bug. Note you can see when the java plugin changes
the volume and after this point it stops putting audio through headphones/speakers.
