upgrading to ubuntu 8.04 & (sound) problems
Well, after using 7.10 i decided to upgrade to 8.04. Some people says it didn’t make any difference, all they did is installing Firefox 3.05b and nothing else.
Well, that is not true! First of all, you can look at they changelog list. You’ll find hundreds of new lib’s. What is most important for me is they finally decided to upgrade lib’s for my favorite dictionary stardict so i finally have dictionary that is free and working 
Then i notice i have problem with flash, i can’t listen to the music while playing music flash. I fix that problem by typing “gstreamer-properties” and choosing “Pulse plugin”. By doing this you’re telling all your programs to choice Pulse plugin for playing music
I don’t know why they added it, ALSA plugin was working perfect with my box!
If you have still have problem with your sound after upgrate you might visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio. it explains why you are having problems and how to fix it!
Generally, upgrade was smooth, it was really GUI-like installing new software. It also upgrade kernel to 2.6.24-16. I remember when i had to upgrade red hat from 6.x to 7.x. It was pain in the a**. This was really joke. IMO, it’s only question of time when ubuntu will win desktop computers.
