This would certainly be much more preferable to the x11 cork request but some issue would be problematic. 1. We need to match up PA streams with mpris2 clients. I think this should be solvable but I've not looked too deeply at mpris stuff to know the finer details. 2. Even with this module, the problem of a media player which uses the PA_STREAM_START_CORKED flag would still be there I think. :( Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mageia Contributor [http://www.mageia.org/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
