cd /var/adm/packages ls -l Pulse* ls: cannot access Pulse*: No such file or directory ls -l pulse* ls: cannot access pulse*: No such file or directory

I fail to see the problem. :)

To be fair, I haven't checked on my 14.0 machine.

I'm sure PulseAudio has it's advantages, but I'm just as glad not to deal with it on my day to day machine.

Worst offender is Skype but the "tsched=0" hack fixes it but then that causes Wine's alsa only driver to screw up so best option for a solution in both cases is simply to remove pulseaudio if you can.

Rumour has it that the Wine folks are working on a specific pulseaudio driver which once they get working means I can re-instate Pulseaudio and just use the tsched hack for Skype.
