Re: [orca-list] Update on progress-bar beeps?

[chrys87 <chrys87 web de>]

Howdy Joanie, Howdy List,

I m currently rewriting the beeping progress bars.
Joanie JFYI: I add two other options:
    "enableSound" -  is for overall global activate or deactivate the 
sound (bool), its useful if we have more sound output anytime.
    "soundVolume" - is for the volume in a range of 0..1 (float)

I think i will finish up the work until this evening and upload the 
patch to the bug ticket later.
what do you think about making gstreamer as depency of orca? should i 
keep things optional? should it be a problem?  I think gstreamer is a 
modern lib based on gnome technology. But if you see a problem here, i 
will try to test my patch without gstreamer installed.

cheers chrys
