Re: [nas] pulseaudio integration



I'm using padsp extensively to thin clients and it's working well.  As more and more applications move to PULSE, I'm removing the shim and allowing the application to directly output sound.

Flash and mplayer are using native PULSE, and the GNOME desktop is using ESOUND.

since there seems to be some movement towards pulseaudio as a
network-aware audio distribution mechanism
(http://www.linux.com/feature/119926), and since pulseaudio has
its own audiooss-like wrapper for oss applications
(http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup#OSSApplications),
i'm wondering if the a nasd server could be run on top of the
pulseaudio shim (i.e., "padsp nasd", as in the previous link). 
this would let both nas clients (connecting via nasd) and
pulseaudio clients (like firefox, connecting via pulseaudio) both
get at local hardware, with the mixing being done in the
pulseaudio server.

it's worth a try.  i'll report back.
