Hello, Colin sorry to drop the comments in pieces... so one more thing: in socket-server.c: in the creation there's always: "s->filename = strdup" but for cleanup you have added: "!s->activated" flag... is the "activated" flag needed for some reason in the cleanup? br, Jaska Quoting Colin Guthrie <colin at mageia.org>: > Hi, > > So while at linux plumbers attending the systemd hackfest, I thought a good > use of the hacking time I had available would be to allow PulseAudio to be > activated via systemd's socket activation system. > > The changes needed are actually quite minimal, and by doing this we can > disable quite a lot of code in PulseAudio related to autospawning (which > does still seem to cause some problems for some users) and we also get a few > handy side effects too. > > It becomes much easier, as a developer, to stop the system PulseAudio and run > your own test instance i.e. you do not have to disable autospawning before > killing the system PA - you just run: > > systemctl --user stop pulseaudio.socket pulseaudio.service > > and then run your test version. > > A second advantage is that there is a relatively simple and documented way to > run e.g. mpd as a normal user before you login via the systemd user lingering > feature. > > I've written a few docs about all this here: > http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Running/ > > (NB I've assumed v6 for landing this but that could be updated as needed) > > All the best! > > Col > > _______________________________________________ > pulseaudio-discuss mailing list > pulseaudio-discuss at lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
