I've tested a source package generated by uscan a fair bit. There are a heap of new symbols in the new version of the library, but they seem to have been added in an ABI-safe manner. I did not encounter any improvements in the pulse handling with the modified package (although I also didn't discover any regressions). I'd like a testcase to see a bug fixed by this change to have a strong opinion about it, but I'd rather not see it as planned-immediate-SRU, as ia32-libs is *painful* for users to update post-install.
-- [lucid] Freeze Exception Request: OpenAL minor version bump https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/565071 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to openal-soft in ubuntu. Status in “openal-soft” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OpenAL upstream has released a new minor version that should be fully backwards compatible: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html * Fixed playback when the PulseAudio buffer is calculated to be more than 64KB. * Restored compatibility with some older PulseAudio libs. * Alternative buffer sizing for PulseAudio, specified using a new config option. * Improved buffer size calculations, to prevent drastic latency changes when certain properties (such as ALC_FREQUENCY) are modified. * Added capture support for the PortAudio backend. * Support for PortAudio under Windows. * Added support for the format extensions AL_EXT_MULAW, AL_EXT_MULAW_MCFORMATS, and AL_EXT_DOUBLE. * Support for the new ALC_EXT_thread_local_context extension. * Improved library load time by delaying backend device probing until needed. * Updated alext.h to provide EFX tokens and function types. * Unsupported effects and filters are no longer returned by alGetEnumValue. * The Wave File Writer device now creates WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE files, to better handle multi-channel and float output. According to the author, it will be needed for upcoming Wine beta releases. libopenal1 has a handful of rdepends, and I've tested them using a package for the new release (using a simple uupdate) that works perfectly. The rdepends do not need a rebuild. _______________________________________________ Pkg-games-ubuntu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-games-ubuntu
