Hi!
I am pleased to announce version 0.4 of the Polypaudio sound
server. See
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/
for more information.
I will try to push Polypaudio into both Gnome and KDE as replacement
for esound resp. aRts.
I'm sorry but I think this is a dead mission. People has tried for years, and
years, and years... to get this sorted out somehow.
The latest I heard is that they finally are settling on gstreamer as a common
backend. Stirring this up again might be in vain and possibly a bad idea.
But please don't take my word for it, I'm not so well informed, do try and
find out more about it. If gstreamer is not the saviour there is indeed a
need for one.

I am interested in your comments on Polypaudio.
Please comment especially on the client APIs available on
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/doxygen/
For a quick comparison with aRts/Esound see the FAQ:
http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/FAQ.html
I am always interested in new devlopers: if you are interested feel
free to contact me!
polypaudio is not a sound server for professional audio, it is a sound
server for desktop environments. Please keep that in mind when
grumbling about this software.
Thanks for your time,
Lennart
