As with the lack of initiative you showed, it´s probably wise to not make assumptions about whether I am not chilled or on a warpath. I posted my opinion and you answered with a statement closed by a grin which tells me you don´t mind wasting other peoples´ time.

Your question has been posted and answered on this forum over and over again, by people that had grown old on this forum way before I even registered. I´d say it´s common courtesy to put some effort into trying and answering those questions yourself, which was the hint I was trying to give you. Apparantly you have difficulties recognizing a hint, which just adds another reason to the list for not buying the N900.

In short: it´s not just a concern of you getting the wrong device but also a matter of this forum suffering fatique as a result of this kind of threads being opened over and over again.

I guess now it´s time for me to look at MohammedAG´s fix for pulseaudio, which, when being used out of the box, does not work very well, despite what non-tech people may tell you about the device...
