Hello everyone, I am the lead developer of a compact music player called Herrie (http://herrie.info/). For people that aren't familiar with Herrie, its major selling points would probably be its not too intrusive user interface and its navigation (it lends a lot of UI stuff from vi/mutt). A few days ago I went to Berlin to LinuxTag and there was this talk about PulseAudio, which interested me a lot. Since Herrie doesn't need to do a lot of complex tricks, I yesterday wrote this audio output module for Herrie that uses PulseAudio's Simple interface. I'd like to say the Simple interface rocks; I ported Herrie to PulseAudio in like 15 minutes! The module will be part of the 1.8 release, which will be released in a month or two. Now there is only one slight problem with the current module I wrote. Herrie has a feature which allows users to chroot() the application in a certain directory. This is really useful if you're using the application in an untrusted setup or on parties. At our UNIX users group at school we use such a setup as well. When we want to support chroot(), we must open the device before the actual chroot() call and only close the device when shutting down. This is what the OSS module does, for example. When I look at the API of the Simple API, there is no way to change the the pa_sample_spec afterwards. Are there any plans to extend the Simple interface to support such a feature? I guess a good thing would be to allow the `ss' argument of `pa_simple_new()' to be NULL and add a routine called `pa_simple_set_samplespec()'.
