After a re-install of Hardy Alpha-6 so as to get today's revised kernel 2.6.24-12-generic on my E2160 rig, I installed Exaile, Kaffeine and VLC Player, plus the usual Gstreamer plugins etc, all as per Gutsy.
Although Hardy appears to be slightly faster than Gutsy, I find that running more than one audio-visual package results in audio conflict or even crashing of Kaffeine, if already running.

On the same rig, Gutsy allows me to set FreeView Kaffeine running, with audio carried across to a desktop on which I can run other packages, like Firefox etc, but Hardy doesn't like such multi-tasking.
