Re: [GnomeMeeting-devel-list] [PATCH] Sound Input only plugins?

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

Hi Georgi,

It has to be committed to the OPAL branch as HEAD is more or less dead.

However, having 2 different plugins for output and input really
complicates things for the user.

Isn't there a simpler solution?

For example, if you choose OSS as input and ALSA as output, it won't
work. That's exactly why I had disabled the possibility to choose
different plugins for input / output :
- it is not very "usable"
- there are more cases where it doesn't work, than cases where it works


I'm sure we can find another solution.
