'Twas brillig, and Becker, VincentX at 09/12/10 14:17 did gyre and gimble: > The reason why I do not wish to use the remote syslog capability is that it could be potentially locked by other components trying to log through its process. By creating a log target specific to Pulseaudio logs, the real time constraint gets better respected especially in an embedded environment. > Another advantage is that the log source can be extracted from the Pulseaudio thread rather than the Syslog thread. It can be also convenient to log directly in a file or a remote device. > I reattach the patch for remind and hope that it can be reviewed by Lennart. Seem like reasonable reasons to me. Lennart will be away for a little while longer but I'll try and remind him about this email once he is back from vacation.
