Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo Sound of Silence
Hi, Nicolai Hess wrote But I don't understand why we do not use the pulse plugin with pharo. ( vm-sound-OSS is working too, and the source is already in the source tree) OSS is just a pain to use today. Some apps doesn't even support it anymore. And if we want to use it with Alsa, an emulation layer must be installed. But it's not the point. Nicolai Hess wrote Hey, if you want to use pharo sound on linux, you have to change your sound config and kill the sound server No, this isn't better :) I'm agree, it's not that way it should be done. But it's for me better than downloading another component to make it work, we could not know if it's fully supported or buggy. In fact, there is a good way. Having a third part of drivers that are validated with Pharo. In that way, Pharo comes with just basic drivers to make it work and in another package we could have drivers that are validated with the stable version. If they don't work, we just have to email the contributor. Pulse plugin will be in that last repo and if one day someone have some times to spend to include it in the source tree it will be great :) We could have a documentation that explain how to include others drivers and let the user choice what is best for him. It's a good start to make Pharo even better :) Xavier. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Sound-of-Silence-tp4801562p4802112.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo Sound of Silence
Hi, We should discuss how to solve this. Neither copy the squeak plugin, nor disabe pulse-audio, is a good solution. The two methods can be used. But I think the best is not to use the plugin. If the plugin is changing and is no longer compatible with Pharo or conversely you can no longer use this method. At the moment this is not the case. While there, disable pulse-audio allows you to use Pharo with no change in its basic version. What seems to me to be less complicated in case of bugs on the sound system. When writing the article for Linux Magazine (a French magazine) I asked myself this question. Should I write to use the Squeak's plugin or simply stop Pulse-Audio? I put myself in the place of a newcomer in Pharo who wants to use the sound system. Install a plugin from elsewhere to run Pharo could give the image of a not finished tool. While there, the plugin does not exist and it does not matter because the sound works with a clear and simple method. It works out of the box. After that, in a near future we should have a plugin for Pulse-Audio or best, Linux should have only one method to access sound, but it's another story :) Xavier. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Sound-of-Silence-tp4801562p4801768.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] New version of PharoSound
Hi, I have wrote a post to have sound on Pharo 1.4 and 2.0 (20576). Maybe you could have a look and try to use it to play sounds on Pharo ! My blog is here (sorry it's in french !) : http://mylittlesmalltalkworld.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/donner-de-la-voix-a-pharo/ http://mylittlesmalltalkworld.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/donner-de-la-voix-a-pharo/ I don't know if it's the best way to have sound but it works :) I will try to use summer edition to see if it still work.
