If PulseAudio master was used in future versions of Ubuntu, I would feel comfortable knowing that the json c library being used will reguaruly receive upstrea maintenance, as that in turn makes it easier for Canonical to commit to supporting the package in long term releases. The website is (sort of) up again. Although the latest release was almost two years ago, it seems from the svn logs that there is still development going on and that the project is very responsive to bug reports. (I've submitted a few patches for mingw cross-compiling myself, so let's see where that goes) The mailing lists still don't work and the project infrastructure could be a bit better (such as svn web access), but in general I think it looks like a solid upstream.

2011/5/16 Colin Guthrie gm...@colin.guthr.ie: Hi, I've just pushed Arun's (mostly, Pierre-Louis also had a hand!) passthrough work to master. This carries with it a new dependency: json-c What is the upstream location of that software? Googling for json implementations gives a lot of small libraries, it is not clear which one is needed as the pulse dep. I guess it could be the one at http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c/, but that website is out of order for some time now. The .tar file is only locatable through the packaging systems of various Linux distros/BSDs. Needless to say, such an unclear status of a dependency is not really helpfull in packaging PulseAudio. We may yet remove this and write our own parser for the simple subset of JSON formatting we use but there may ultimately be other reasons to keep this longer term. But in the interests of simplicity, I'd certainly not be against any native implementation patches that came along provided they were simple and clean. Please test these changes. I'm sure Arun will post more details and test requests in due course.
