Re: Proposal: replacing esound with polypaudio in 2.10

[Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller <uraeus gnome org>]

Another important point is that if we get the proposed GStreamer ding-
caching abstraction going then people on the more obscure platforms can
keep using esound until the day one of them bothers porting polypaudio
to their platform of choice. This is IMHO a nicer solution for these
people that an esound backend for polypaudio.
