There are downsides to it and they basically don't want to maintain another sound system. They think ossp and/or gstreamer will fix all the problems in time, allowing them to drop all-but-one sound system. It sounds like a perfect scenario but we're an unknown number of months away from being at that point and people want working audio yesterday, not when Wine get around to improving their sound framework or we have a usable ossp framework (and the know-how to use it). -- Ubuntu should ship wine with the wine-pulse patches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/437749 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
