[opensuse-factory] pulseaudio and 11.0
Hi We (opensuse-gnome team) have been working in the last few days to integrate PulseAudio for 11.0: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Ideas/11.0/PulseAudio it is in a state where it mainly works on GNOME, so talked to Takashi (maintainer of the pulseaudio packages in multimedia:audio) and he is going to assign the packages in the PDB (internal package database) to me. So, first, I would like people to test the packages we've built, and second, what needs to be done to put this into the distro for 11.0? Are KDE people aware and happy of the change? Other packages that would need work on them? Anything else that should be taken into account? -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'm aware of it affecting gnome, but at the moment I see it as GNOME replacing esd. Does it have a wider impact on the distro that I'm not aware of? I'm not aware of anyone writing a PA backend for Phonon yet.

Yes, as long as pulseaudio still uses ALSA, the mixing of sounds happens within alsa (either via software or in hardware). We ported also for that reason some other, non-KDE/Gnome apps to alsa to avoid blocking sound device without the need of a daemon. (These daemons were always some kind of a problem or at at least a suspect to according to bugzilla). Rodrigo, does one need to care about more when a PA application is running and another system is trying to use ALSA directly ? As it looks for me, PA would be just another layer in between without giving us really needed new functionality for the most apps. Is this right ? bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
