Source: libao
Version: 1.2.2+20180113-1.2
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
I am proposing importing the packaging changes from Ubuntu:
* debian: adapt to compatibility level 13 and use autoreconf template.
- Modernize the packaging
* debian/libao.conf: Set the default output to pulseaudio (LP: #1075479)
- This is somewhat debatable. It was introduced in Ubuntu because,
presumably, at the time the default ALSA backend was not pulseaudio so
libao would stomp over pulse (see the launchpad bug).
However nowadays I expect that, in a system with pulseaudio or
pipewire, ALSA will always default to pulse/pipewire so the change
should not be necessary.
But I'm still including the change for others to evaluate, as I
believe it might make sense for libao to default to pulse anyways.
Find the debdiff attached.
Thanks.
