Nope, no Ubuntu, installed Mythbuntu straight off of the CD, no Ubuntu
Pre-Installation.  I can look for a pulse audio server (ps aux | grep pulse
should do it right?) but I don't think one is running.  BTW I have no
preference on running with or without pulse so long as it works and works
consistantly.
