I think you need to split off the thread for this..
I HATE pulseAudi!!!
I always have to install the PAvolumecontrol, and every time I start
something that requires sound, I start the PAVolume control and select
that app with my Soundblaster card.. Once I do that for vlc, chrome,etc
I only have to do it once.
