For a while now Matt I've been interested in creating a "Recipes" section on the PA website so talk about more advanced uses of PA. It would be great if you could write up a blog article or similar and then we can link it on the PA website. Or feel free to create a page directly on the PA website if you like!! If you don't have time, don't worry. I completely appreciate the effort involved in writing up these things :) 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/]
