Hi
Since it's part of the agenda for tomorrow's meeting, and since I'll be
away from computers till Sunday, here's a summary:
* 5:1 support. Patch for fixing this
( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=381686 ) has just been
submitted to autobuild. It supports setting different speaker setups,
and from the tests from Bjorn and myself, it seems to work correctly,
but will need further testing, so if you have some nice speakers, test
them with the latest packages
* volume slider in padevchooser. I haven't had time to finish this
patch, mainly because I needed some big changes in padevchooser code to
be able to get all the sinks, so that we change the volume in all of
them. On Sunday, as soon as I'm back, I'll continue working on this. It
makes the volume slider show up on left click, like the old volume
applet. Another option I've been looking at is to add change the old
volume applet to use PA, which might be much easier.
* chirping sound problem is fixed, although some of the default values
we use now for default.pa (see patch in pulseaudio package) might be
problematic for some setups, so we probably want to change them as part
of changing the speaker setups. I'll see what information Bjorn provides
when I'm back on Sunday and decide on the best
Since there have been other changes lately, and given some people's
complains about PA, please make sure you test the latest packages, to
make sure we're on track for making everyone happy with PA :-)
