Now, I am at least able to play videos _with sound_ again on my HDMI connected TV, after switching Video out also to TV (with xrandr), like it worked before with OD Wheezy.Great. :-) I'm pleased. I thought you had already exhausted the possibilities of pulseaudio.Bad pulseaudio (hm, the author of that piece of software programmed also avahi daemon and systemd...)Don't let's go there... :-/
Again, if alsa isn't set correctly pulse doesn't have a chance. This isn't news.
IF you have only one sound device, then you don't need pulse. But, if you have HDMI plus USB headphones with a builtin mike, and another sound source like a webcam mike, then pulse shines for switching between them on the fly. Alsa doesn't do that well. But, you must set alsamixer to ummute the audio devices you want to use first, then add pulse / pavucontrol which switches between them. Ric
