As maintainer of the build spec form the SFE repository I have kind of a request for help with atomic ops.
SFEpulseaudio.spec uses version 0.9.5 which is pre-libatomic-ops. It runs on Solaris but the atomic-ops implementation of later pulsaudio releases prevents upgrading SFEpulseaudio (stalled at 0.9.5). If anyone want's to look into extending the atomic-ops code in pulseaudio I would like to share my first coding steps. I would like to enable newer pulseaudio releases on Solaris to o give at least experienced users this interesting option. This does not say, it has to go into the Solaris distributions as default.
