The thing with D-Bus is that it is not network transparent. While I do like D-Bus a lot it is thus not really suitable for the PA case. The native PA APIs are all network transparent, and thus D-Bus is not really a suitable replacement I would say. And carrying two IPC APIs around all the time doesn't strike me as a particularly good idea. Sometime in the far far future I will replace the PA native protocol by something based on D-Bus-via-TCP together with RTP for the audio data transfer. But that's something for the future. Of course, I won't stop you from hacking up a D-Bus module. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net ICQ# 11060553 http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
