With alsa 1.0.9rc3, dmix is enabled by default and it works (with
gstreamer too).
There are several applications which depend on esound which seems weird,
as I thought these use gstreamer:
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) nautilus-2.10.0-3.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-media-2.10.0-2.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gok-1.0.3-1.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed)
control-center-2.10.0-4.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) smpeg-0.4.4-9.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) libgnome-2.10.0-2.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) gnome-session-2.10.0-2.i386
esound >= 1:0.2.27 is needed by (installed)
libgnomeui-2.10.0-1.i386
Should I file upstream bugs for these to remove direct esound depencies
and require only gstreamer?
These depencies seem ok to me until esound is dropped, as these are
sound systems:
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed) arts-1.4.0-1.i386
libesd.so.0 is needed by (installed)
gstreamer-plugins-0.8.8-5.i386
Note1: alsa-lib 1.0.9rc3 will be in updates soon, now only at
http://people.redhat.com/stransky/alsa-lib/
Note2: dmix doesn't solve "sound over network" problem. This still
requires a sound server (e.g. MAS, Jack, esd), but the sound server can
be implemented at gstreamer framework level, not application level.
