Still not getting anywhere with this.The problem, briefly, is that I need two audio streams from one application.
Hello,

Kmix recognizes it and so Phonon. I tried with Phonon and "preferred" my lifechat at "recording devices" options but it didn't work.
Some years ago i hated pulseaudio but now things have changed. Pulseaudio 1.1 (now in testing) works very well, in my machine at least. I let pulseaudio to take full control of my sound card installing pulseaudio-alsa, I uninstalled kmix and installed veromix plasmoid and my experience is very positive.

Hi again,when I suspend my laptop (uname -a: 3.5.6-1-CHAKRA #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 8 16:00:22 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux; yes, I'm on testing now, but the problem was there before, so I report it here), after wake up my sound is gone, I can hear only cracking noise in the speakers.
Hi everyone! Recently, I've upgraded Ubuntu from 10.04 to 12.10, and this little audio problem keep bugging me since day one I've upgraded it. I've followed all the tips from this blog to solve my audio problem. I think I've solved it. But, everytime start my machine, I've to insert "killall pulseaudio" to reset my Dummy Output to normal ones. Tips anyone to overcome this pesky bug?
