It was listed as a dependency (if I remember correctly). When I start mumble, it appears under 'Applications' and 'All Streams' but not 'Virtual Streams'. I avoided getting into pulseaudio for a long time, so I can only guess (and read up on the topic). A clear sign that it does use pulseaudio would be references in the source code, messages in standard output / log with reference to pulseaudio, and what else? > PulseAudio works best when all the applications on the system use it. > :-) You can check with =E2=80=98pavucontrol=E2=80=99 the list of appli= cations currently > doing audio with PulseAudio. The problem is that mumble sometimes appears in Applications of pavucontrol and sometimes it doesn't. > Note that applications that use PulseAudio, including =E2=80=98pavucont= rol=E2=80=99, > automatically start the pulseaudio daemon if it=E2=80=99s not already r= unning. >=20 > HTH! > Ludo=E2=80=99. >=20
