I hope you don't mind, but I did some work on this package as well. Here's what I've done so far. [Andres Mejia] * Make the build output verbose. * Allow options passed to cmake to be overridable using DEB_CMAKE_OPTIONS. * Support nostrip option. * Build Release type libraries by default. * Support building of static libraries. * Added myself in Uploaders field. * Set libopenal-dev to depend on binary version. * Added new todo. Also renamed TODO to TODO.Debian. * Added README.Debian. The changes have been committed to SVN of course. I have some questions. Isn't there going to be a problem with having a binary package (libopenal-dev) in two source packages? Wouldn't it be better if this package replaced the old openal package? -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I did some testing with the new OpenAL libraries with ogreal. ogreal performs better on the new libraries then they do with the other ones. When I say perform better, I mean all the ogreal demos actually run (as opposed to some of them segfaulting). I think openal-soft should instead be named openal and thus be the new version of openal. Maybe we could upload a package to experimental first to start testing it. Could anyone provide a list of the reverse dependencies for openal? I would like to test a few more packages with the new openal libraries. -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Please fill out the fields below. --- Package name: openal-soft Version: 1.3.253 Upstream Author: URL: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html License: GPL Description: A portable library for 3D spatialized audio OpenAL Soft is a cross-platform software implementation of the OpenAL 3D audio API. It's built off of the open-sourced Windows version available originally from the SVN repository at openal.org. OpenAL provides capabilities for playing audio in a virtual 3d environment. Distance attenuation, doppler shift, and directional sound emitters are among the features handled by the API. More advanced effects, including air absorption, low-pass filters, and reverb, are available through the EFX extension. It also facilitates streaming audio, multi-channel buffers, and audio capture. This library is meant as a compatible update/replacement to the OpenAL Sample Implementation (the SI). The SI has been unmaintained for quite a while, and would require a lot of work to clean up. OpenAL Soft supports mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 output, as opposed to the SI's 4-channel max (though it did have some provisions for 6 channel, this was not 5.1, and was seemingly a late addition). OpenAL Soft does not support the Vorbis and MP3 extensions, however those were considered deprecated even in the SI. It does, though, support some of the newer extensions like AL_EXT_FLOAT32 and AL_EXT_MCFORMATS for multi-channel and floating-point formats, as well as ALC_EXT_EFX for environmental audio effects, and others. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
