Comment 29 for bug 440465

I am experiencing the same problem. Pulseaudio has been bad to my architecture since it was released. What I am amazed at iis the fact that before pulseaudio, once the card was configured with alsa the setup was very stable. I could run any application with no problem. THen comes pulseaudio that breaks linphone or ekiga all of a sudden. Then after all we get this features fraught " piece-of-art" pulseaudio offering a lot of "options". With all these options I see my applications refuse to communicate every once in a while. This time more of them, even good-ol mplayer is a "whiner".

These all are minor nuisances one can tolerate, however, when pulseaudio gives me a system crash, this is a way too much . It should be exterminated.
Now the question is, how to build gnome-media package without pulseaudio? I keep getting errors concerning install-doc all the time. Some *xml and *omf files seem to not exist in the ubuntu gnome-media source.
was anyone lucky there?
