But when you break something as major as libgnome, steps should be
taken to ease the transition. Perhaps the function could be forwarded?
See below in the thread, we can't because the libgnome API exposes
esound internals.
I'm not really much of a programmer, but I recognize that you
can't
just break functionality in core libraries like that and expect
everyone to fix their apps up "just like that." Fowarding the function
(for compatibility purposes) while deprecating it would probably be
more ideal. In any case, that's just my two cents...
It's been deprecated for a while already. See:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/references#api-platform
And from the API docs:
"
These functions also allow for the fact that no sound may be supported
on the current platform.
"
So if your application _required_ to have sound working, then it was
broken in the first place...
