Hi all,
pulseaudio is not the one man team it was of the past. Upstream seems to be
cracking on at a grand pace. While they are debating the release date of
pulseaudio 3.0, one of the Fedora maintainers has been kind enough to put
together a pulseaudio 2.0 repo [1] for those of us who shudder to think of
using rawhide on a daily basis...
Please let the list know your experiences. What we learn here is of supreme
importance wrt. the audio spin.
For the really game, I have also released
laditools,ladish,gladish,synthv1,samplev1 and Add64 whilst they wait in the
review queue [2]. Be warned that a certain GCC 4.7 abnormality is creating
havoc with jackdbus at the moment causing the ladi* tools to die on startup.
An updated jack is imminent, but in the meantime you can roll your own with
-O0 (rather than -O2 from %optflags)
Well, I can play, what do we expect from it? Are there any user
visible changes or is it all under the hood? Any changes to Jack
integration (apart from unintentional havok)?

Looks like there are some useful changes. Also looks like Fedora has
been very slow at updating PulseAudio.
Somewhat - development seems to be really fast at the moment (they also
have a GSOC student working on bluetooth stuff, which always helps to
move things along). Usually pulseaudio won't get a major bump within
releases but I'm sure the maintainers are willing listen if something in
a later release solves an issue and patch the current version.
pulseaudio is a massively ambitious project from the start, but I do
think its the way to go. Managing it from a pro-audio perspective is
always going to create some work. The nature of Fedora was/is always
going to create issues (pretty sure ubuntu released at the same time
though). In any case its what all the desktop teams use as default, so
we have to live with it (and hopefully make it better). I think it does
a good job, but I also like/need to turn it off on occasion - this is
more our domain.
I'm interested to hear if the backport gets better results for some of
us (myself, I haven't updated my test box here but will over the
weekend). I'd also like to take a more active role in squishing bugs,
but its really hard (most pulse bugs relate to hardware/alsa and hard to
replicate). I'd love some extra hands here [1]. If the spin does take
off I guess we are also somewhat implicated in looking after this as
well. I know there are a few of us here who know this stuff better than
I do so I'm hoping they share!
