We renamed it!

You sir made my day! I tip my hat to thee.

So what stops me from burying my competition with this? Instead of getting cheap far-east labor to link to me in linkfarms, the same people will just now engage in blocking out my competitors.

I disabled pulse (not uninstalled it) last night following this guide: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/

So far so good - fixed up my Skype lag issues.
