Use pulseaudio #936

Open quozl opened 3 years ago

quozl commented 3 years ago

Sugar uses ALSA directly. This leads to requirement for user to manage default mixer control values, which was handled by OLPC OS but is not handled by Sugar.

In the Linux desktop universe, use of ALSA has been replaced by use of PulseAudio.

Fedora 34 is moving to PipeWire, from pulseaudio after facing some long term problems with pulseaudio for desktop users. Would it be worth a try?

Sure. It just has to be supported by GStreamer, Pygame, and Sugar Toolkit. You'll see a large chunk of C code in Sugar Toolkit contains our ALSA support, plus there are direct calls to amixer in activities like Measure.
