I am interested in porting / keeping the pulseaudio client library up to date on windows. My plan was creating Vistas global Audio Processing Object (APO) that communicates to a local sound "server" which in turn acts as pulseaudio client and pushes audio to the pulseaudio server. My intention is to keep my code open source but the compilation of the APOs and Windows drivers need Microsoft Windows Driver Kit which of course is not available without proper MSDN license. So participating in this project is not too trivial :/ Does my project rise any ideas or is there somebody that has thought of doing similar things? regards Tuomo Pelkonen --------- PA was once ported to Win32, but tha port has been neglected and would need some non-trivial updating to work again. There has been talk about doing a windows driver that forwards to PA every now and then. But to my knowledge noone capable and sincere enough actually really did something about it. Much talk and no do in this area. someone wrote winesd years ago, so something like this is definitely possible to write, but quite frankly I have no clue about Windows and especially not driver development on Windows so I am really not the right person to ask about this. You'd have to port at least the PA client libraries to Windows to get started. Given that the client libs don't use much of the fancier Linuxish stuff that should be fairly easy to do. Porting the server itself would be more work. Patches always welcome!
