That is what that libesd0 does: it provides the libesd API to the application and talks to pulseaudio (using the feature of pulseaudio that it emulates esd). All the other libesd features are disabled. It works fine for gpe-calendar and I am guessing it would work for other uses of libesd, although I have never tested that.

OK. I have sent a cut-down esound package to the autobuilder and libesd0 and libesd0-dev are now in Fremantle extras-devel.

Note: using Alsa directly isn't good as it skips the speaker protection algorithms in pulseaudio. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I have sent a cut-down esound package to the autobuilder and libesd0 and libesd0-dev are now in Fremantle extras-devel.

I have done some reading and it seems that Pulseaudio supports ESD emulation. >From reading the Pulseaudio info, it would be enough to have a real libesd (apparently libesd expects to communicate with the ESD via a socket interface which pulseaudio emulates). However, there is no libesd for Maemo 5. "esound" is the debian package which builds libesd. Anyone feel like volunteering to build a libesd from esound?

Take a look at its > package page on debian: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libesd-alsa0 > (libesd-alsa0 provides libesd). Can someone who understands the various sound systems comment on whether this would be a good idea? Does Maemo Fremantle include ALSA support (there seems to be a libasound in the SDK)? Would porting libesd-alsa0 to Maemo Fremantle be sensible? Would it work? It mentions something called the "Enlightened Sound Daemon" -- is this a daemon process which has to be running? If so, it sounds like that wouldn't be a good idea on the tablet (memory and battery usage). Would I be better off porting GPE's sound requirements to work with libasound instead? Actually, as this is in the alarm code, many people would be much happier if I just made it work with the Maemo alarm subsystem -- the most frequently requested GPE enhancement! Does that still work the same way in Fremantle? Graham ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
