Well, it seems like you could easily just keep most of the stub/noops for non-esd and create a canberra-specific path for gnome_sound_play(). That would probably cover most of the apps that just do a fire and forget gnome_sound_play(file). That would be API compatible with the non-esd libgnome. -- Dan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
