sound: Remove use of never-defined HAVE_PULSE (2.48 KB, patch)

Description Andreas Trepczik 2012-04-26 13:12:02 UTC
Reproduce:
1. Find out your current sound theme by invoking a bell, e.g. by running in gnom- terminal: echo -e '\x07' 
2. Open gnome-control-center, select "Sound" and go to the "Sound Effects" tab.
3. Choose a different alert sound.
4. Invoke another bell.
5. Choose a different alert sound.
6. Invoke another bell.

If you started out with clean configuration files, the alert sound has changed correctly in step 4 but not in step 6 and all subsequent attempts. The correct sound will play when you either restart the system or manually restart pulseaudio.

This affects an updated Arch Linux installation with gnome-control-center 3.4.1 and pulseaudio 1.1 as well as Fedora 17 Beta. The problem did not occur with GNOME 3.2.

sound: Remove use of never-defined HAVE_PULSE

HAVE_PULSE was never defined so the sound plugin was
completely unused. This would cause theme changes to not be
noticed.
