Why are people still using bluez4? I understand that some long-term support operating systems may still have bluez4, but they will keep using an old version of pulseaudio too. Sailfish OS was the last operating system that I know of that kept using bluez4 for a long time while upgrading other system components, but they too have moved on to bluez5 now. Is there still some distribution that will use (or would like to use) pulseaudio 11 with bluez4? What distribution are you using? -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
