[OpenIndiana-discuss] pulseaudio

[Jonathan Adams]

long time ago (2011) ... I've got a tar of it, but OI has changed a lot in
that time, I haven't actually tried to connect to it in a while

I said (a while back) that I would have a go and see if I can a compile of
the latest version when I had time, and it kinda got forgotten about.

It was a real hack though, I manually modified the Makefiles and ran some
of the compile lines by hand to make sure it picked up the system
libraries, I wanted to spend time getting it to work with less effort.
