Modern operating system is sometimes installed on modern hardware platform, that means that there is no need in hotplugging of devices which functionality is already included in 99% of cases (except the case with bluetooth audio - bluetooth phone sets is the different case). Yes, I repeat - PA need in a very little amount of cases (I mean - you should use different distro). > they support a subset of what pa is doing besides they have a > different goal than pa (pa isn't "just another sound server") I still insist - you should learn more about already shipped and stable solutions. > btw you are trying to solve the problem in the wrong way: > "app A has bugs, don't ship it" vs "app A has bugs, find the causes > and fix them" More than 5 years ago I've got a experience in deploying multimedia-server for multiroom systems, and I still remember something regarding this development area. Even in 2002 JACK already has a ability to combine different audio cards into one or split into many. Since then it receives the ability of networking sound. >From my PoV, there is no need to create something from the ground (thus repeating numerous error, which already fixed many times) except the case then you're not the guy with NIH syndrome. More easiest way is to help to add some functionality to already existed mature project (btw JACK included in Fedora). I believe is that Fedora may have great benefits from JACK as a defauld soundserver. Too sad, that Fedora heads decided to write something from scratch. I still wonder why (probably - it's another example of poor development management). However its still not too late to drop this semi-working student's cheap stuff in favor of something more reliable. -- With best regards! -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
