Problems after removing pulseaudio

[doctordruidphd]

I had a feeling this wouldn't work, but I followed the advice given by many (after making a full backup) and attempted to remove pulseaudio, because all of my wine stuff was failing.

sudo apt-get remove pulseuadio

That part went fine, and I went to SystemSettings>Multimedia and put the alsa device at the top.

And here the troubles begin.
I have two sound cards, and internal on-board system and a X-Fi card. I need to use the internal card, because I still use Jaunty for some things, and X-Fi is not supported until the -31 kernels. System sounds play fine, so does alsaplayer. Everything through flashplayer, and wine, wants to play through the X-fi. And sound stuff in firefox (yahoo mail notifier) does not play at all, anywhere.
asoundconf no longer exists. Trying to bring up alsamixergui give two error messages:

ALSA lib control.c:874snd_ctl_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_ctl_pulse.so
and a separate window that says:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

I have tried both the firefox from the firefox website, and the version in the repositories. Same problems with both.

This isn't working. Anyone do this successfully?

Re: Problems after removing pulseaudio

sound seems to be a struggle these days. I would temporarily turn off the on-board sound in the bios and try to get everything working in the karmic load. If you succeed, then I would turn the on-board sound back on and blacklist the on-board sound modules in your karmic load.

That may wind up being the plan, although I'm still not sure where firefox audio went.
Right now, I reloaded karmic from backup, and am running wine stuff on jaunty.
