Re: progress of sound update -- REVISED

Yesterday's Ubuntu updates produced a rash of pulseaudio changes, and suddenly alsa works with wine, without stumbling. Today's secret to making it work: In System/Preferences/Startup applications, uncheck pulseaudio sudo apt-get install esound -------- Why do you need to install esound? I don't know. I've taken it for granted that some kind of mixer is needed. Perhaps because I don't use the default sound card, the on-board card. Maybe I don't need esound at all. Or maybe if I could permanently make my Creative X-fi card the default. Right now, to do that, I have to revert back to the alsa-utils from Jaunty and use asoundconf set-default-card. (The newest alsa-utils does not include this handy tool.) -------- sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf autospawn = no Then every time your computer starts, run killall pulseaudio in terminal first. (Because the Startup Applications menu doesn't really work.) -------- Painful bug in Ubuntu. Yet another reason why I stay away from it at all costs :) What do you use? -------- I trained and ran Dragon NaturallySpeaking without a problem. Excellent news! Yeah. I read somewhere that Ubuntu has made pulseaudio removable partly because of this very program, which of course is a great assistance to people with mild RSI, who can use a keyboard for some things, but tire easily when entering large amounts of text.

adding "|| RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE" is surely not what you wanted, i think you mean "|| rc == RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE" -- Best Regards, André Hentschel

Change -- The program I test with is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Yesterday's Ubuntu updates produced a rash of pulseaudio changes, and suddenly alsa works with wine, without stumbling. Today's secret to making it work: In System/Preferences/Startup applications, uncheck pulseaudio sudo apt-get install esound sudo nano /etc/pulse/client.conf autospawn = no Then every time your computer starts, run killall pulseaudio in terminal first. (Because the Startup Applications menu doesn't really work.) I trained and ran Dragon NaturallySpeaking without a problem. I also tried oss yesterday, and that seemed to be working again, too. I usually follow the above directions but do not install esound or kill pulseaudio and then run the wine app with padsp. If anyone has any different experiences with today's karmic updates, I would be interested to hear about them. Susan

submitted AppDB links to bugzilla not working anymore?
by Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle＠t-systems.com 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Hi, Several recent link proposals between AppDB and Buzilla acknowledged by "The bug link you submitted between Bug NNN and XYZ has been accepted." have nevertheless produced no visible bug # in AppDB nor "Show Apps affected" in Bugzilla. E.g. Bug #19773 among others. Did some recent changes to the server break that functionality? BTW, a few month ago, I was pleased to see that some links were automatically(?) created when the bug subject had the format app-name: blabla That was a useful idea! Regards, Jörg Höhle

Hi Vladimir, you can't do this in two separate patches like this. After the first patch is applied, the tests fail, and that's not allowed. You should combine the fix and removing todo_wine into a single patch. Thanks, --Juan

[RFC] Adding an OpenAL DLL thunk
by Chris Robinson 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

Attached is a set of patches that adds an openal32.dll thunk, allowing an app using OpenAL to use the system's lib instead of Creative's software driver. The advantages of using the system lib include: * It avoids the unnecessary step through DirectSound, instead going right to ALSA, OSS, or whichever is supported by the system implementation. This also allows for a DSound->OpenAL wrapper, since OpenAL won't create a circular dependency by using DSound. * It can provide more options and features, including surround sound (where Creative's software driver only does stereo), depending on the implementation. * It integrates better with the system, as Wine apps will use the same OpenAL configuration used by native apps. If necessary, the Windows DLL can still be used by adding an openal32 override with installing the Windows redistributable. However, more recent versions of the Unix/Linux OpenAL have been much better compatibility-wise than the old 0.0.8 version, as it is actually a fork of the LGPL Windows version. This patch set does not support OSX's OpenAL, but it should be simple enough to add for anyone familiar with handling frameworks in configure.ac. An incomplete list of games that use OpenAL, for testing, can be found here: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/OpenAL%20Wiki/Games.aspx Comments and questions are welcome.
