Re: GNOME 2.26 module inclusion discussion heats up

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Frederic:

Note that Solaris does not yet use PulseAudio.  On Solaris we are
currently using the GStreamer backend for libcanberra, so it is
incorrect to say that it is an official approved dependency just
by virtue of libcanberra.

If it is necessary to integrate PulseAudio for gnome-mixer
functionalities to work, then we can consider adding it.  However,
the benefits of using PulseAudio when using OSS don't seem to be
as compelling as when you are using ALSA since OSS has mixing
functionalities lacking in ALSA already built in.
