the Devuan ASCII sprint will continue through the week-end. Just to
let you know that apulse (pulseaudio->alsa compat layer) and surf2
(the suckless browser) are now in ASCII. Feel free to give them a try
and report any issue.
apluse is installed in its own place in the hierarchy. It is not
installed as a replacement for pulseaudio - otherwies it should conflict
with it.
Therefore its use is limited to software which is compiled locally, and
I think it cannot act as a compatibility layer for ready-made packages like
Skypeforlinux. Skypeforlinux has no sound when pulseaudio isn't install,
even when apulse is.
However I'm not sure Skypeforlinux is still usefull since it seems to
have exactly the same UI as Skypeweb.
Hi Didier,
I have no pulseaudio running and skypeforlinux still works (yes, I
need to use it, unfortunately). I don't understand what you mean
"installed in its own place in the hierarchy". apulse is not a
replacement to pulseaudio, just a wrapper to foul apps around to
believe that pulseaudio is running. I don't think we can really
replace deps to pulseaudio with deps to apulse, tbh.
Dear Enzo,
Sorry if I misunderstood, I thought to foul applications, one
needed to replace a shared library - like eudev or vdev are doing for
libudev. If (eg) Skypeforlinux tries to link to
libpulseaudio-foo-bar.so, how could it be fouled by a file with another
name, libapulse.so? Skype is a good example because I've read that
apulse was precisely meant to foul it.
I will further investigate because I now have two laptops running
Ascii and with apulse installed. Maybe they behave differently but I
don't understand how they could interface to apulse.
Didier
