hello Bill,

Ok. Plese post what to do to run PulseAudio in system wide mode. I beleive 
you posted this a while backi, but some thinggs could of changed. the last 
time i tried this, speech was still choppy and i was unable to hear speakup 
after using gnome until a couple of seconds later. so I was lead to beleive 
that the card was busy or the stream was interrupted some how.

Alonzo
