Hi all,

I'm thinking about removing ESD support from x2goclient altogether.

During my recent deep changes to the PulseAudio integration for X2goclient on both Windows and Mac OS X, I came across the ESD sound support. On Windows, ESD was supported through the PulseAudio wrapper, while OS X was totally broken anyway.

Testing ESD support proves to be difficult, and I'm thinking about removing it
completely.

Most Linux distributions have already removed esd (and tools) from their repo, or rather replaced it by the PulseAudio esd compat layer. That's especially true for Ubuntu, but also Debian Testing and Unstable (Debian Stable still has esd for x86 and amd64 arches, but this will be dropped in favor of PulseAudio in the
upcoming release.)

That said, I'd like to know whether users are still using esd or not. I wouldn't feel comfortable removing a feature still in use. Please report, if you find the
time.

Removing it is fine by me - John

Let us do that in two steps.

Now: add an alert Window if someone chooses ESD in the session profile.
in 6-12 months: remove the feature.

Mike
