And I hope you really don't believe I was whining, I was just trying to help others who have a similar experience with pulse audio. I'm a fan of what Pulse Audio stands for and when its finally stable, I'll advocate it, but until that point, I prefer a working system :) @troll - The bugs were submitted before openSUSE 11.0 was released, but having a report isn’t helpful until its fixed and pushed to the repositories, my solution is helpful for those who don’t want to wait for the bugs to be fixed and just want their system to work.

This prevents some apps from accessing /dev/dsp* and alike - e.g. sound doesn't work Wormux.

It doesn't take much to go into and endless-loop. Uninstalling it is the only way out. Whoever voted for pulseaudio in 11.0 really shot himself in the foot with it.

I'm constantly grabbing it by accident and when I do, I go flying off the bike and onto the pavement. But I fixed it and it was easy. You're probably asking, how did I fix these issues? I took a screwdriver and loosened the bracket that was holding the handle onto the handlebars near where I hold on with my hand. Once loosened, the handle came right off. I think it's going to be much more fun riding my bike now! This stupid brake handle on my bike! I’m constantly grabbing it by accident and when I do, I go flying off the bike and onto the pavement.
