I've been pinging bugs working from oldest to newer. A lot are from pre-1.0 era so they are most likely fixed already. I've already closed a bunch, but you are welcome to keep pinging the rest of the bugs. > There is one specific [2] bug about writing a data collection script > which would help in this area.

This would be very helpful indeed. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-pulseaudio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-pulseaudio-devel
