Even setting up Xbmc & my MCE remote seemed a lot easier this time. The only real hurdle that remains is passthrough for AC3 & DTS.
So Ive tried pretty much everything I can think of to get passthrough on Jaunty but nothing works like it did on Hardy. Updated to the latest pulseaudio & alsa. tried many different sound configurations.
Through Google I've found out that pulseaudio is heavily integrated with Ubuntu Jaunty so just killing pulseaudio doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
I've also tried a few of the suggested ways to get passthrough in Ubuntu but most seem to be for earlier versions of Ubuntu.
So Has anyone had any success getting passthrough working in Jaunty, & how??

(In the meantime, can someone walk me through the CritSec "destroyed section" bug aside from "remove Pulse Audio"? I keep getting stupid random crashes after the system has sat for a while or on trying to start up videos - but it's intermittent, random and without a whole lot of ability to reproduce consistently, and Pulse isn't running)
