The usage that I envisage for this it's always enabled except on embedded/production/resource-constrained systems where it would be disabled by configuration. _All_ logging unconditionally goes into the ringbuffer. So if something goes wrong, you don't have to restart PA for verbose logging and wait for things to break again. -- Arun _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
