Package: libao-pulse
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: serious
Hello, CJ.
I have in my inbox a mail exchange with you from May 2007 in which I
proposed to remove this package because libao2 had started providing the
libao-pulse plugin.
You commented that you didn't think it was a good idea, because the
libao developers were not the authors of the libao-pulse plugin, hence
we'd be introducing an extra level of indirection.
However, there have been no code changes in ao_pulse.c since 2006, and
the versions found in libao2 and libao-pulse are identical.
I won't insist that this package should be removed from unstable,
because maybe development on it starts again -- should that happen, then
we can stop shipping libao-pulse in libao2, and Suggest/Recommend
libao-pulse instead.
However, it is clear that is not going to happen for Lenny, and as
things stand now we're shipping two copies of the same code, which is
not good. If you don't disagree, I would like to remove libao-pulse from
Lenny, and leave this RC bug open until libao-pulse development starts
again.
How does that sound to you?
