He thinks that will allow pulseaudio to create the device files rather than having to load a library that overrides calls to /dev/dsp with calls to pulseaudio instead. Without that I think all prior art is to use LD_PRELOAD in this manner. (Although thin client is the only place I'm aware of them doing it system-wide; most places use the {esd,arts,pa}dsp wrapper to target specific applications.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
