Comments:       PulseAudio is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy
                for sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your
                sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware.
                Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing
                the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one
                are easily achieved using a sound server
                ----------
                howto:
                alsa needs to be working for whatever sound device you have
                exit to console
                create ~/.X.d/dbus containing:
                "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session"
                startx
                $ pulseaudio -vv [to test]
                create ~/.X.d/pulseaudio containing:
                "pulseaudio -D" [once tested]
                ----------
                if a bluetooth sound devices is paired and configured, pulseaudio
                should find it automatically if the daemon is running
                ----------
                use pavucontrol to switch source & control volume
                ----------
                This extension contains:
                pulseaudio - LGPLv2.1 - git clone git://git.0pointer.de/pulseaudio.git
                ----------
Change-log:     2010/05/01
                added 78-sound-card.rules
Current:        2010/05/17

This is still very much a work in progress - I can now get module-udev-detect to work, but only by loading extensions like this:

1. pulseaudio [after first removing the dep file so only pulseaudio loads
2. alsa, rhythmbox where order doesn't matter
3. libpulseaudio
4. udev-lib

If I leave pulseaudio.tcz.dep in place and load alsa, rhythmbox, pulseaudio in any order, then module-udev-detect will not detect my sound card.

Perhaps the order in which the file "78-sound-card.rules" and the alsa-modules/udev-lib extension get loaded is important, but at this point nothing is too clear.

[Juanito]

Ah - I'd forgotten to rescan the udev rules - module-udev-detect now seems to work.

Updated extension uploaded.

pulseaudio version is "UNKNOWN" ? as a result configure fails version checking

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ pulseaudio --version
pulseaudio UNKNOWN
tc@box:~$ pkg-config libpulse-simple --modversion
UNKNOWN
quick solution is to edit pkgconfig files manually

Code: [Select]

Version: 0.9.30i don't know exact version but it must be something greater than 0.9.21

i don't know exact version but it must be something greater than 0.9.21

As mentioned in the info file, it was compiled from git - you're right, I also had to edit the pkg-config file to put a version number.

I guess 0.9.22 can be used for now, I will upload an edited version in a day or so.

Note that you might need to create or add to ~/.asoundrc like this:

Code: [Select]

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

[Juanito]

deps adjusted to use Xorg-7.5-lib rather than libXtst

[curaga]

There's a separate extension just for that?

edit: Seems to be gone now
