It was saw like an ESD replacement for Gnome, but that had nothing to aport to KDE. After all, a sound server is only an extra layer that gives us mixing... and latency. And since we already have mixing though dmix a sound server doesn't makes any sense, true? Well, we were wrong. I would like to reopen the PulseAudio in KDE debate. But this time everybody must read this before: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html

Looks like PulseAudio doesn't give us only network transparency. It give us a better sound system, energy saving... and no extra latency.

yes, the glitc-free branch (still not released) should be a much better thing to consider for KDE. Also, we've had to patch several packages because of the fact that only GNOME uses PulseAudio, so having the whole distro use it should solve in a better way those problems. I started packaging this glitch-free branch in home:rodrigomoya:pulseaudio . I'll try to finish the packages ASAP so that people can start testing things for 11.1 -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
