dpkg -l |grep pulse
ii ia32-libpulse0
0.9.21-1~22 PulseAudio client libraries
ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0
0.9.10-3+lenny2+b1 PulseAudio client libraries (glib
support)
ii libpulse0 0.9.21-1
PulseAudio client libraries
and my amarok is working...
and skype too...
dpkg -l |grep skype
ii skype
2.1.0.81-1~22 Skype
