Pulseaudio release candidate (with bluetooth fixes), maybe worth for Tumbleweed?
Hello, I want to advertise PulseAudio 14.99.1 (aka "15.0 RC1"). See https://www.mail-archive.com/pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org/msg217... for the release announcement. Maybe this is also interesting to some fellow openSUSErs? Especially the much needed Bluetooth improvements finally made 2 of my headsets usable very good on Linux! It would probably also get rid of the huge stack of patches that are currently on 14.2 in openSUSE. Alternative suggestions usually include installing PipeWire, which Fedora has set as default already. I asked Takashi if it might be nice to have included in Tumbleweed, but in general there is a bit of reluctance (understandably) to include non-final releases. Note that an update would also require an updated pavucontrol, to enable Codec selection. In any case I have prepared the Pulseaudio in my home dir on OBS, so if anyone wants to try it you can get it from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:ailin_nemui:test_pulseaudio (zypper dup --from home_ailin_nemui_test_pulseaudio) I'm sure the Pulseaudio team will also appreciate feedback on the RC. (It runs very stably for me!) Best, Nei

thought the proposal was interesting but all I got was:
Repository 'home_ailin_nemui_test_pulseaudio' not found by its alias, number, or URI.
What went wrong?
Did you add the repo? sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:ailin_nemui:test_pulseaudio/... home_ailin_nemui_test_pulseaudio /Syds

Thanks for packaging this. I've also been running pulseaudio master for some time for better Bluetooth support and it's indeed stable and working well. Something I think is of interest is that when switching to meson there will be no esound support. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/970 Not sure how widely used that is, but it is still packaged for pulseaudio 14.2 in Tumbleweed. Thanks, Robert
