I think this is still the best course of action for F7, given some
work to 1) make PulseAudio work (as it doesn't right now for the
above), 2) some integration with the GNOME sound properties so it
spits out the sound events on the right device.
This needs to work with fast-user-switching and that is *hard* given
that PA hogs the device (or at least used to) and most ALSA playback
devices can only have a single opener (no mixing).
Also, keep in mind that we're going to enable accessible login
(including screen readers) for gdm - I wonder if we need pulse audio
running there and how it works with the alsa-pulse plug-in - will
pulse-audio be activated on demand? Or will the presence of alsa-pulse
just break accessible login because there's no PA instance running?
Thanks for looking into this - PA rocks and will make our distro so much
better. But it needs to work with f-u-s or we need to decide to do pull
either PA or f-u-s. Simple as that.
