[GnomeMeeting-list] ESD/aRtsd sound server support suggestion

[Dean Tsou <dttsou iinet net au>]

Hi Developers,

Great job on GnomeMeeting, the IPTranslation works wonderfully on 0.94.1!

Just thought I would suggest something that maybe useful for the 
project. As I understand it, there is presently no sound server support 
at all with GnomeMeeting, so to use audio, one must close all 
applications that uses the sound device. Am I correct on this?

If so, can I suggest that ESD support be implemented. I understand that 
most KDE users use aRtsd and GNOME users uses ESD, but that fact is, 
aRtsd can easily support ESD applications by running the command 
"artsdsp esd" in the background.

Anyway, just a suggestion. BTW, would it be difficult to modify 
GnomeMeeting to use ESD? I am a computer science student, but don't know 
much about the APIs and the structure of GnomeMeeting. Where can I find 
out? Perhaps I can give something back.

Cheers,
Dean
