[arch-dev-public] audio packages
Hi, There have been plenty of bugs about enabling pulseaudio support in various packages but they are routinely closed with a "deferred until it is in [extra]" message. To get better audio support we would probably want to bring in at least pulseaudio, oss and portaudio from [community]. So is there a current dev willing to maintain these? Allan

I guess not given the big response I have got so far. Do we want to find someone that is interested? Allan

Probably nobody. The big desktops may give the direction in our official repos. For now Jan is packaging Gnome without pulseaudio support for good reasons... Leave it up to the community for now. -Andy

My reasons for not supporting pulseaudio in GNOME is because I don't have need for pulseaudio and because I don't want to maintain it. Without a pulseaudio maintainer, I won't include support for it, simple as that.

Same for KDE. 4.4 will have improved support for pulseaudio, but as long as nobody wants to maintain it in extra it has to be disabled. Personally I have not much use for pulseaudio. -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre

OK, if no-one is interested in maintaining pulseaudio/oss/portaudio in [extra] and no-one seems interested in bringing someone on to do that, I will just close the bugs requesting pulse-audio support in [extra] packages. Allan
