@nixCraft Why is the energy-full listed as about four times the energy a fully design?? Usually batteries degrade and soon have a lower real capacity than originally designed. Is this a software bug? 🤔

@nixCraft But whose ear is it that's going to end??

(There's a typo in the last sentence😁)

@itsfoss 1 correction though: You claim “you can't rely on ALSA as it will take control of the entire sound device, so you can only use it to handle one application at a time. So no hardware multiplexing.”

That’s false. I remember my main advantage switching from OSS to ALSA was being to play 2 apps at the same time. I still feel like #PulseAudio is the new kid on the block—now I feel old👴

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture explicitly lists “Hardware mixing of multiple channels.” as a feature.

@nixCraft Valueable tool! But why update and upgrade commands in the install instructions for #Debian?

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
$ sudo apt install poppler-utils
