Bug Description

Portaudio applications, such as teeworlds, don't work with pulseaudio. This is really annoying since pulseaudio is the default sound server since hardy.

Audacity doesn't work with pulse audio. I have the "perfectsetup" for pulse audio using the guide on perfect setup.

There is no other audio editor for linux that I Know of. If you know any that works with pulse, please add as an comment. thank you.

This is Beyond Annoying that a basic function of providing sound/audio of an operating system is not met by Ubuntu. And, I mean a WORKING audio that doesn't require a user to fix to make it work.

I believe this opinion is worth mentioning here as a way to convey some common sense to the developers: Make basic things work-out-of-box! like system-wide sound. Until you do, Bug +1 shouldn't be about microsoft; instead, it should be "make basic things work-out-of-box". Until then, you are playing catch-up to microsoft, apple, no matter what your opinion is.

This is a really old bug, and I discover it directly affects espeak (which is in main). espeak now cannot work with pulseaudio because it is built against portaudio19, but this package does not support pulseaudio well.
