I'm sorry if I look like a Negative Nancy, but that's a load of crap based on his hate against OSS. One of the points of a pure software mixer (which is what PulseAudio is) is that all processing, mixing, effects, channel assignments and whatever else is controlled by and lies on the software side and doesn't require more than a bunch of dumb output channels without even proper volume control. I don't really see the point of an audio server, if the native audio interface very well supports software mixing itself. Maybe not as sophisticated as PulseAudio, but that type of sophistication is more sugar coating than practical. -mg _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
