FYI if you're running without pulseaudio (so as to
avoid the problems
it introduces -- see two messages below as examples), the
GoogleTalkPlugin has an annoying delay every time it tries to access
an audio device, as it's querying for pulseaudio and not finding it
present and timing out. Each time this happens, you'll see a message
"socket(): Address family not supported by protocol"
Ugh... I thought I had solved this, as I wasn't seeing the messages
when testing my change. But I just had a phone call and saw the
pulseaudio message again, even with my --disable-sound hack. I also
tried giving the command-line arg directly to the google plugin and
it won't accept this gnome argument (even though the browser does). SO
I'm not sure what I was seeing the first time, and sorry for reporting
on false success.
Is there an environment variable that does the same thing as
--disable-sound so that pulseaudio never gets called within a Gnome
app? Some KDE apps like 'kmix' have a special envvar for this:
KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1
Any equivalent envvar in the underlying gnome libraries to disable
pulse and go straight to ALSA?
