Some apps doesn't even support it anymore. And if we want to use it with Alsa, an emulation layer must be installed. But it's not the point.

But it's for me better than downloading another component to make it work, we could not know if it's fully supported or buggy. In fact, there is a good way. Having a third part of drivers that are validated with Pharo. In that way, Pharo comes with just basic drivers to make it work and in another package we could have drivers that are validated with the stable version. If they don't work, we just have to email the contributor. Pulse plugin will be in that last repo and if one day someone have some times to spend to include it in the source tree it will be great :) We could have a documentation that explain how to include others drivers and let the user choice what is best for him. It's a good start to make Pharo even better :) Xavier. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Sound-of-Silence-tp4801562p4802112.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
