Summary: Replace dummy modules with a list of deprecated module
aliases in the module loading code
QA Contact: [email protected]
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All

Hardware: Other
Status: NEW
Version: unspecified
Component: core
Product: PulseAudio
Sometimes we want to rename modules. That's no reason to break user
configuration. We have handled this sometimes by keeping a compatibility module
that loads the new module, and sometimes we have simply broken configuration
compatibility. Dummy modules take up compilation time and add clutter the
source tree. I propose a lighter-weight solution: maintain a simple list of
deprecated module aliases in the module loading code. If configuration contains
a module that is on the list, the module loading code issues a warning and
loads the modern version of the module.
