Hmm, the build system is bizarre, the standalone version doesn't run with modification and it doesn't connect to pulse as a normal client app does (e.g. it doesn't connect to the sink I specify via PULSE_SINK env var - seems to always us the default sink :s But when it works, it's cool :) Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
