Just got latest Skype for linux _fully_ working via pulseaudio. Details will follow, but here's couple of highlights.
I. pulseaudio port as is seems to be unable to do recording at least on my hardware. The problem is in how it (its oss plugin) uses mmap on /dev/dsp. Disabling mmap use in source code allows microphone recording to work. II. Trivial ports for linux-f10-pulseaudio-libs-0.9.14 and linux-f10-libasyncns-0.7 need to be created and installed. III. Couple of kernel patches are needed for skype or linux pulse audio client to be able to talk to FreeBSD pulseaudio daemon. 1. http://people.freebsd.org/~nox/linux-so_passcred.patch 2. The _first_ patch from here http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=149168 Patch will need massaging for amd64 and has some deficiencies, but it does seem to work. My OS is sufficiently recent CURRENT/amd64. -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
