Hey folks,
So I am in the middle of packaging alsa 1.0.27 for saucy and putting it in the
alsa-testing PPA to get some testing, and I am wondering whether we all think
we should run the new alsactl daemon mode that helps with hotplugged hardware
when its connected/disconnected. I am of a mind to run it as upstream are less
likely to support a config where its not used, but I'd be interested in other
people's opinions. It does help us cover the small number of use cases where
pulse is not being used.
I'm going to go ahead and write an upstart job for it and enable it by default
in the PPA for testing, but we can always revert to what we have now.
Thoughts welcome.
Luke
Good question. For systems with PulseAudio there could still be
alsamixer controls you want to save, but that PulseAudio does not save
for you.
However, in the trade-off between keeping our system footprint low and
feature completion; this daemon makes no difference for the vast
majority of our users. Hence I'd lean towards writing an upstart job for
it but disabling it by default.
It would make sense to run it for derivatives that do not run
PulseAudio, if such derivatives still exist?
