Ok, I'll start with some topics I would like to have discussed and/or
decided upon at our conference.
David and Tanu have covered most of what I had in mind, but there's a
couple more from me:
* User experience
We've come a long way from in terms of being invisible to users (as we
should be), but I still see a large number of people facing
difficulties, often in "standard bugs". This includes programs grabbing
the ALSA device, tsched=0 fixes, port switching, running mpd, and
probably others that I can't remember.
What I'd like to discuss is ways for us to deal with these sort of
problems and help solve them quickly. My current thinking is some sort
of program/script to help people quickly pin point problems and find
solutions. This is really matter of automating the standard diagnostics
we ask for on IRC, and documenting the standard solutions. (David
pointed me to Ubuntu's diagnostic tool, which is a good starting point)
Perhaps others have better ideas to deal with this.
* Testing
I would like to see us adding more tests -- the amount of code/features
that we add is much much larger that corresponding tests. Part of the
problem is that there is still missing infrastructure to make this easy
enough (we don't have an automated way to test that playback actually
works, for example). Deng's work during the GSoC should make a lot of
things a lot easier, so this would likely just be a small discussion
about what kind of extensions we need, and maybe finding some way to tie
that up into a CI system if possible.
Cheers, and looking forward to seeing you there this week!
I had a few discussion points noted down in a file I've been keeping for
the last few weeks:
I'm trying to refit the schedule with the topics from you and Arun, but
I'm wondering if you could elaborate a little on the ones below I've
marked "new", and if possible an estimation of how much time it would
need? Thanks!
* System-Wide audio support (Tanu already mentioned)
Covered in existing topic (Combining system-wide and per-user modes)
* Unified ALSA config xdistro
New
* Base Volume options
New
* Priority Lists
Covered in existing topic (Routing priority list infrastructure)
* Flash (specifically Recording)
New
* 2.1 Profiles
Covered in exisiting topic (Surround sound)
Trivial:
* Remove HAL?, Planning for a major bump?
New
* Disable esound by default
New
