--- Begin Message ---Package: steam Version: 1.0.0.39-2sjm1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi there, It would be convenient to be able to configure Steam on a system-wide or (at the user's option) per-user basis to use an audio driver other than PulseAudio. Currently, this is possible by manually setting the SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable, but that's somewhat clunky and requires either running Steam from a shell or modifying the package files. I'm attaching a patch which will have /usr/games/steam look in /etc/default/steam and "${config}/defaults" (in that order) for STEAM_AUDIO_DRIVER and STEAM_AUDIO_DEVICE settings, and set the appropriate environment variables when running Steam based on these. I've also created a README.Debian to document the change for users (also included in the patch). This has been implemented in a generic and future-proof way that permits both re-using the same config file for other settings in the future, and hiding implementation details (like the fact that Steam uses SDL for audio) from the user. I have done some rudimentary testing of this patch and it works as intended on my system. Please let me know if you see any obvious problems with the change, and I'll get it fixed up. Thanks, Steven. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages steam depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.51 ii libc6 2.17-92+b1 ii libgl1-mesa-dri 9.1.6-2+b1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx 9.1.6-2+b1 ii libstdc++6 4.8.1-10 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.1-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.8-1 ii libxcb1 1.9.1-3 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii multiarch-support 2.17-92+b1 ii xterm 297-1 Versions of packages steam recommends: pn zenity <none> steam suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * steam/question: I AGREE * steam/license: steam/purge:diff -urNd steam-1.0.0.39.orig/debian/README.Debian steam-1.0.0.39/debian/README.Debian --- steam-1.0.0.39.orig/debian/README.Debian 1970-01-01 10:00:00.000000000 +1000 +++ steam-1.0.0.39/debian/README.Debian 2013-09-30 13:53:28.000000000 +1000 @@ -0,0 +1,33 @@ +Debian's Steam package exposes some configuration parameters.
