Yeah, I guess it's time. Let me know if you want six emails instead of one. Over the past few weeks - although there always seems to be something else you have to fix first - I've been working on fixing the long-standing issues with the pulseaudio mixer paths not working correctly on the input side: basically it isn't showing helpful enough names (e g "Microphone 1" and "Microphone 2" instead of "Front Microphone" and "Rear Microphone"), and not always controlling the right sliders underneath. I have tested it on the stuff I have here and it seems to work well enough. For Ubuntu users, easy testing is here: https://launchpad.net/~diwic/+archive/pulse-mixer Realtek HDA codecs might need two recent ALSA commits that rename "Mic Boost" to "Mic Boost Volume", and to change an index error that made PA ignore the control. They are both in queue for 2.6.38. I've also made some changes in the kernel to clear up the namespace (i e change some of the more crazy names to standard names) recently that might be interesting. As for where this is going (master, stable-queue, or /dev/null?) - speaking from Ubuntu's standpoint I'd strongly prefer stable-queue, because I want this in Ubuntu 11.04, which is based on stable-queue. Me being biassed, It'll be up to the rest of you (Colin etc) to make the decision given that there is somewhat of a regression risk, at least for unusual hardware. // David -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
