    I've been using systemd on openSUSE for months and I had zero issues.
    Just did "zypper install systemd" and everything was automatically installed and configured.

    But other solutions depend on other things too (e.g. the bash interpreter). Those dependencies can break too.

      Pulse Audio, Pulse Audio, Pulse Audio... What soundcards are you using? File a damn bug report... Out of all the soundcards I have been using it works without a problem. Some had stuttering the first two Ubuntu releases, but that's it. All fixed...

      Now because dbus is, you know, aupported all over the place and generic, the only constant in operating the computer is the IPC traffic. Traffic is bufferable and doesn't crash itself, so systemd can track processes and restart it, even d-bus itself.

      So what's the freaking problem? Gallium sucks because it's not 100% stable or something?

      Progress... inconceivable!!!!

        With Pulse Audio I have experience many various issues with various AzeilaHD, Cmedia 8788, Cmedia 8738's, Soundblaster Audigy 2zs, Soundblaster X-Fi Titaniums, M-Audio Revo (ICE 1724) and Chaintech AV-710's. In every single one of those cases the resolution to fixing the audio issues were to remove pulse audio and then they worked as expected.

          Well, that's easy to explain - because that's what they were built for. D-Bus came out of Hal development, and general work on improving hardware integration with the desktop. And fast boot time was one of the drivers behind systemd - indeed, it's pretty much the only thing Lennart talked about in his original announcement.

          That's not to say they're not useful for server environments too - I've been looking closely at systemd lately for it's support for managing daemon monitoring and fallover - but it's simply untrue to say they weren't designed primarily with desktop use in mind.

            For what it's worth, I am a happy PulseAudio user.

                @deanjo,
                Everybody know that soundblasters are a source of problems after Creative bought it. Google Slashdot for it and see the outcries. It has caused me massive headaches on both Windows and Linux. I then replaced them with a Cmedia soundcard which since WinXP service pack 2 has caused me nothing but grief. It has worked on Linux but then it died. A friend of mine had the same card and wanted to thwor it away so I tried that one. Also pain in the ass.

                For the other cards I don't know. Cards that did worked have been Intel HD audio, RaLink (or something: those blue Windows driver icons) and countles onboard soundcards from the Pentium 2 days all the way to now.

                Also, I have to wonder why you would need an X-Fi, other than for Windows gaming or Windows studio appliences for recording audio. 128kHz is totaly BS for audio playback. If you want analog audio LP experience buy a Coolermaster light bulb transistor to round of the aliasing edges for about $20 or something. Make sure to also not boost your volume to the max and buy analog speakers with three seperat speakers in the box that have circuitry to seperate mid, high and low frequencies and your sound is golden

                    He may be confused with the E-mu and Ensoniq acquisitions.

                      i have a xfi hd from auz3n , with fedora 14 it plays only stereo despite i use Digital Output / S/PDIF .
                      do you think i would get 5.1 if i remove pulse audio ?

                      what kind of command line i should use ?
