Last modified: 2007-01-31 20:49:39 UTC
Adding the patch from Jorn Baayen to CVS. This patch togheter with patches in bugs (82340 and 82341) moves GNOME2 from using esound to using monkey-media(gstreamer). Gives GNOME 2 sound server independce and improved media support.

SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch these all and delete them. :)
Should this be in for 2.2.0, anyone?
Does this still work with the later monkey-media?
Please don't make libgnome depend on monkey-media. It will mean adding a lot of unnecessary deps to gnome just to play sound events. If there were a patch to just straight-off use gstreamer or always use MAS/ESD, it would be much better. We should definately do something about the whole sound daemon/events/etc... thing though for 2.4. This should probably be re-targetted toward 2.3/4 now.
What's going to happen to this stuff?
well, still using esound but also uses gstreamer for other stuff could this one be closes (gstreamer API changed so much since the bug was open that patches should be un-applicable)
Comment on attachment 8596 [details] [review] control-center patch Monkey media has been moved into rhythmbox and we definitely don't want gnomecc to depend on that. This needs to be rethought I guess.
What about using just GStreamer? I can work on a patch in that case.
any news on this?
Let me be the next questioning... Any news?
I think we can safely call this obsolete now. New GNOME sound API is under construction, we'll see how that goes.
