I've heard FSO got rid of pulseaudio. Is that true? Any problems?
Flamewars I should read? :)
I ask, since I'm working on improving mediaplayer's performance. Having
it talk directly to ALSA halved CPU usage (I think this is due to a
misconfiguration...), and didn't seem to break multiple simultaneous
apps talking to the sound card.
Anyway, if pulseaudio is going away, I don't want to spend time
debugging it...
Also, is GStreamer definitely in the future? I'm looking into
fixed-point graphic equalizers; gstreamer seems to be a good place to
add one.
The choices for adding new audio processing code seem to be adding a
plugin to gstreamer, alsa or pulseaudio.
