 It is PTLib which contains the code to read from alsa.

Surely, the ideal is not to go via ALSA, but have ptlib directly talk to 
pulse. Thus, we need to write a ptlib plugin for pulse audio.

We know how ptlib plugins work. There are example plugins for alsa, esd, 
oss, sunaudio. The big question is writing a plugin for pulse.

What is involved in writing code that talks directly to pulse ?
Anyone know example code, or of the pulse api docs?

Please don't refer me to docs which say "just use alsa code". We are using 
alsa code, and that is why we are having this issue.

Derek.
