I would be interested to hear your thoughts on OSS4 (as opposed to the old OSS in Linux), perhaps you could blog about them or write something for LWN.

foo: already commented on that. Google for it. No plans do that again. I am not interested in more childish insults by OSS4 fanboys.

maybe they are being childish because no one listens when they say how bad sound is right now with PA.

Very interesting interview.
I hope you will be able to improve PA enough. Thus it will be also usable for music production, and it will give Linux a better integrated sound system.

Question.

What are you thinking of when you say that even with PA, there will still be a lot of features that Linux sound lacks?  I had thought that PulseAudio would bring Linux up to parity with OSX and Windows.

Maybe you're talking of something lower level -- from the user's perspective, PulseAudio has the at-a-glance visible functionality of a sound experience on the other platforms.

Hello Lennart,

thanks for putting all the hard work into PA. It's amazing that some people still fail to see how desperately Linux needed a 'sound manager' like PulseAudio.

Looking forward to try out Fedora again!

Again; many, many thanks.

Hi,

I am interested in creating a wikipedia page to describe the similarities and differences between OSX and Linux in terms of Audio features/support.

I see some of it is mentioned here but I guess there is more people know and is not out there in the Internet. Can I ask people for a quick bullet-point summary of have's and have nots in OSX and Linux?

Cheers,

  Albert (avilella at the google mail account).

Cheers

First I want to thank you for your hard work on PulseAudio :) Especially the glitch free feature! Lowered CPU wakeup time (for sound) from 86 -> ~5 per seconds :D.

However, not everything are perfect yet. First is that under 'sudden' CPU high load there always a buffer underrun :-/ . Second is that if there are two PA client then the CPU load is doubled, even if the second client output no sound at! (test with firefox + flash, then close the flash tab, the CPU load is still high). The last one is that if I suspend the computer when playing the music then after resuming, there alway a big 'pop' at music stopping.

One last thing I want to have for pulseaudio: Is there anyway to disable resampling and just output the music as-is to the sound card? Since my sound card support 44.1kHz frequency I want to save CPU power by disable resampling :) As you said, 'glitch free playback' is a killer feature, so I want to use it to the fullest :D

@CaVang: There are bugtrackers for concrete issues that do not work perfectly yet, and forums for generic questions - it's a better way to get things fixed than adding comments to a blog entry. ;-)
