I think the problem is that this innovation costs all (users who feel performance to be lower or are simply irritated by a new applet) and benefits few (who really use the possibilities PulseAudio provides).
The first part of the problem is similar to Compiz and its 'bling'; it cost a lot of performance and made a lot of problems in the beginning.
But what alleviated the 'marketing-problem' with Compiz was that also almost everybody CRAVED for that bling (wobbly windows, spinning cube...) once he/she had seen it. For PulseAudio, we don't have something like this... The functionality it provides for audio might be similar to what Compiz did for video, but almost no-one will want to use it in practice. That _is_ a problem when once tries to gather acceptance among openSUSE's userbase.
right, but I see PA integration in 11.0 as a 1st step to achieve something like that. In 11.1, .2, 12.x.. I think we would be able to make better things to use the extra features in PA. -- Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
