Dear Lennart, thanks for telling me that Gentoo makes your software extremely fast and requires lots of configuration.

Please try to avoid writing such statements in the future.

"Dear Lennart, thanks for telling me that Gentoo makes your software extremely fast and requires lots of configuration."

Lennart's claim is completely different from your claim. Don't be a fool. Compiling software doesn't make it any more faster than it already is.

Lennart didn't say his software requires lots of configuration either. You are being deceptive.

Such a statement in an announcement, mentioning Gentoo in an uninformed way leaving (perhaps unintentionally) a bad perception of Gentoo, was quite uncalled for. I hope that doesn't repeat, as compiling everything from source for that 2% extra oomph isn't what we are for, really.
Meanwhile, thanks for your ongoing efforts of making sound not suck on Linux.

Looks like it hasn't been packaged in Debian yet... I can't even find a needs-packaging bug.

This sounds like a great idea, but it really needs to be added to the other biggest distribution :-)

Thanks!

I'm wondering if the butthurt about gentoo is related to consolekit and policykit being patched out as default.

At first, thanks for your contributions.

On the other hand, I really disagree with you about your opinion on Gentoo and how do you write later about "modern distributions" as oposite to Gentoo.

I would expect that you were aware about FUD and wrong ideas that are usually spread against Pulseaudio and, then, you wouldn't do the same with Gentoo...

Regards

Why is PulseAudio not called SoundKit?

Posted by Lennart at Sun Jun 21 22:04:41 2009
daniels: because SoundKit cannot be abbreviated to "PA", but I needed a name that could.

Will JACK use RealtimeKit in the future, too?

Lennart, what would you say if your proposed device reservation protocol (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/device-reservation.html), which has problems I outlined in a comment there, and this service, which seems too narrow-scoped to justify another "Kit" by itself, is unified in one service for system resource management?
For example, an application requesting "voip" class audio playback would preempt other kinds of playback governed by the same service, and also be granted realtime scheduling, depending on system-wide policies and permissions?

BTW, no wonder that the audio app crowd at LAD got rubbed the wrong way with this. They don't want to have to ask one micro-service: "give me realtime", then another: "oh, get me exclusive playback as well", or whatever else they may need on some of the environments they target.
But telling the desktop: "I'm a pro audio app, get me everything as defined in system-wide policies" is a totally different deal. It also resolves the problem of coding for a service which may be absent on the actual box.
