OK, I'll soften the statement to "in my opinion PulseAudio shouldn't be in the business of showing dialogs". I don't remember if I criticized the GSoC project idea at all at the time it was discussed. Perhaps my thinking has changed since then. Currently I do wish that the problem of popping up notifications would be handled outside PulseAudio, so I'm certainly not a fan of the notification framework thing. > Also, I don't remember you stating anything in this direction when we > discussed this in Edinburgh.

I remember advocating an approach where PulseAudio would not control the dialog, and if I recall correctly, Colin suggesting using the notification framework from GSoC. It's possible that we agreed something, but unfortunately I don't remember that. As I said earlier, I don't want to block the work on this issue. I'm just expressing my personal opinion about how the responsibilities between PulseAudio and the UI should be divided. -- Tanu
