<title>PulseAudio support workarounds</title>
<para>Initial support for PulseAudio is planned for the R14.1.0 release.</para>
<para>For the time being you can try one of the following workarounds in case you have troubles with PA
(especially muting/unmuting).
<itemizedlist>
  <listitem>
     <para>You can mute/unmute from the KMix slider LED, this should work fine with PA.</para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
     <para>You can open KMix mixer window -> Settings -> Configure global shortcuts and remap the "toggle mute"
           keyboard shortcut to some other key combination. Do not use "XF86AudioMute" key, since this is normally
           used by KMilo and therefore may not work.</para>
  </listitem>
  <listitem>
    <para>You can create a script that calls "dcop kmix Mixer-1 toggleMasterMute", this will mute/unmute the PA
          master channel. You can add an input action tied to a keyboard shortcut to call this easy.</para>
