Is there any plan to have this in Gutsy? In Gutsy+1? In Gutsy we just managed to not install esound by default, to get rid of its nastinesses. For Hardy, using pulseaudio by default is on the plan at least at the moment. If the two major blockers are sorted out (never releasing the soundcard and multiuser compatibility), then I don't see a major obstacle. I recently talked to Lennart (upstream) and he told me that those problems were fixed. PulseAudio 0.9.7 was released 2 days ago. In talking to the developers yesterday via IRC, they've got both of the above issues fixed in that release. :) I'm running 0.9.6 on my own system, and can't wait for 0.9.7 to hit the Hardy repos. -Josh -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Whether it's also used in gutsy+1 (the next LTS) remains in the air. PulseAudio should be a fairly straightforward drop-in in its current state; Edubuntu has been using it since feisty. libflashsupport is the most significant missing piece, and pavucontrol should be promoted to main. I thought PulseAudio had gained libflashsupport already - http://pulseaudio.vdbonline.net/libflashsupport/ ? -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
