Pulseaudio mixer causes apps to crash

Forum members vtpup and NorthernSoul have reported the problem:

Look in /etc/profile:

#20230918 remove... ref: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/3867
##v2.10 MU: rox crashes with DRI modules. solution:
#export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1

That link:

That variable was unset due to Chromium unable to properly display Chinese and other Asian characters if it is set.

I'll think about it, but probably won't set it globally, just set it when run 'pavucontrol', as the guys have suggested.
