* summary: ESounD is Required dependency of libgnome-2.18.0 =>
libgnome-2.18.0 wants ESounD by default
Comment:
I've thought about this on and off since I've been updating
GNOME. ESD used to be required early in the library stage
of a GNOME installation, but it migrated to optional a few
releases ago.
My thoughts have been that since it isn't a "required" dep
until much later in the Desktop installation (Nautilus
now) that optional was prudent because I'd bet just as many
folks install the base core GNOME libraries (to support the
many applications which require them but don't necessarily
need the GNOME desktop) as those that want the full-blown
deal.
But it would be a shame if someone didn't install ESD at this
early stage (libgnome) and then discovered later she wanted a
GNOME desktop, but now with limited sound support because ESD
wasn't installed at the early stages (actually I'm not sure
what happens to Desktop sound support if you don't install
ESD during libgnome and libgnomeui.
So here's sort of a middle-ground idea. We can move it to
Recommended (if you plan on installing a GNOME desktop; also
remove the --disable-esd parameter below)
but we'll leave the --disable-esd parm on the configure
command. I'll see if there are any other comments about this
plan. If not, or no negative comments anyway, this is what
I'll do.
