Hi Derek - I did some searching and.... the binary in the attached file is the same as the one in the current package (and it includes the source). After stripping the included binary it was the same size as the one in the current deb package. And it works just as well too.

I would like to introduce you to an extremely good hacker who has been doing a lot of great work on Squeak plugins, sometimes having to resort to super-hero levels of Unix debugging to understand deep problems. Derek fought long and hard with Squeak sound on the Nokia N810. When it became clear that their ALSA library was seriously broken, and he ended up writing a Squeak sound plugin that talks directly to Maemo's low-level sound API. Another task Derek took on was to make camera input work well with a wide variety of video devices on Linux by finding and using a library that supports automatic format conversion. Most recently -- and the reason I'm writing -- Derek wrote a new Squeak sound plugin that supports PulseAudio (PA). As you probably know, quite a few Linux distros have recently switched to PulseAudio, which broke the Squeak ALSA sound plugin. (Although PA has an ALSA compatibility layer, that layer does not support the asynchronous part of the ALSA API, which the Squeak ALSA plugin depends upon.) I'm attaching the latest source and a binary (for Ubuntu 9.04) of the plugin. Both playback and recording work well, although there is some latency in playback that we are looking into. -- John P.S. Bert, we first tried the same workaround of using OSS. That worked for playback, but sound recording was unreliable: sometimes it did nothing and sometimes it actually crashed Squeak.
