gst-pulse is a GStreamer 0.10 plugin for the PulseAudio sound server.
It ist tested and works quite fine. The plugin is quite advanced as it includes both a sink and a source, and implements the GstMixer and GstPropertyProbe interfaces. Only the ALSA plugin shipped with upstream GStreamer is as advanced and featureful as gst-pulse.
There is not much to say. Just install this software, the driver is than available as elements pulsesink, pulsesrc, pulsemixer. You may activate these devices using the Gnome GStreamer properties tool.
Currently, gst-pulse is tested on Linux only.
gst-pulse was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from October 2004, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.
Obviously gst-pulse requires an installation of PulseAudio (version 0.9.x) and gstreamer 0.10.x.
As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of gst-pulse.
