pulse audio in arch linux x64 works just fine, enables me to use mangler as a native vent client and provides a lot better sound quality than alsa-oss with the native teamspeak 2 vlient.
if you know how to do it that is.
i had problems with arch x64, pulse and wine as well, because arch doesn't offer a 32bit build of wine patched for pulse audio, neiter in aur, nor the standard repos. wine with the alsa wrapper or padsp won't work, because neither pulse audio nor wine pill in lib32-pulseaudio (and wine needs that, because it's a 32 bit app - at least if you want it to run 32 bit windows apps, as eve.)
so there's two things you have to do:
1: the easy part:
yaourt -Sy lib32-pulseaudio (if you have yaourt, if not i guess you will know how to do that manually, if not: rtfm)
2: the not so easy part:
either install 32 bit arch on another disk or computer or set up a 32bit environment inside your 64 bit installation (that's what i did. rtfm), chroot into it and build wine-pulse from aur there. (also works with yaourt, if you want) then don't install the package there, but copy it over to your 64 bit system. you can then install it outside of the chroot by typing:
pacman -U <packagename>
you have to do this, because building wine-pulse in 64 bit will give you a 64 bit binary, and you don't want that, as it will only work with windows-64bit-software, what eve isn't.)
this is just the quick and dirty solution, but i am too lazy to do it the clean arch way. also it works just fine, so i just have no reason to. it is possible that you also need to install several 32bit libs, as lib32-libpng, but they are all in the repos or aur.
if you people are interested in the package, just let me know. i can build and upload the package for you, but i won't make a regularily updated aur pkgbuild for it.
also: brenni - this is getting old, i think we all know what linux is a kernel, but this is not quite what the thread is about.
and now, enough offtopic-spam by me today.
