I've been wanting to write a pa subsystem for a while that could ask the user some questions and await feedback, but I'm not really 100% sure if it's sensible or not. I was thinking of something pretty simple that would be capable of: 1. Simple notification popups for information (detected new network device, new USB device etc.) 2. Simple yes/no questions. (New Sink found, do you want to move all active streams to it and set it as default?) 3. Ask simple questions (Your apple airport device requires a username and password, please enter it now.) I would envisage that the core would be extended to provide a few functions that modules could call to do the necessary and then I'd expect a module could be written to register as a "notification handler". That would allow for a module that interfaces with e.g. libnotify to be written (this would allow for a different KDE module to be written too). For 1 and 2, it would be pretty simple Nut for 3 it could be a bit more complex. Lennart, have you got any thoughts on this? Am I way off track here or is this vaguely sensible? Col
