>Wine does not directly support PA nor should it. Adding a compatibility layer just slows things down (witness DirectX -> OpenGL in Wine.) I agree with you hear (don't mind the pun), but just watch as the gnome-developers, as of gnome3 - are probably going to expect you guys to integrate PA. As Pulseaudio is now the default soundserver, and is integrated in Gnome-Shell. And there are lots of developers who think it should be the default for the linux desktop in general (which i disagree - ALSA integration is more important). >Wine should not support PA, but support either ALSA or OSS (and OSS is NOT dead.) Okay, not dead, just not packaged as a default in any Linux distribution that i can think of, and in particular, not supported in most modern audio applications written for linux. Obviously there are exceptions, that i should have considered before i posted that, like Unix systems that are using OSS. but OSS is going to eventually be a dead/obsolete project in Linux ~ i think that's pretty hard to argue. I haven't used OSS in years. jordan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
