<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>

<p><tt>gst-pulse</tt> is a <a href="http://www.gstreamer.net/">GStreamer 0.10</a> plugin for the <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio sound server</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="status">Current Status</a></h2>

<p>It ist tested and works quite fine. The plugin is quite advanced as
it includes both a sink and a source, and implements the
<tt>GstMixer</tt> and <tt>GstPropertyProbe</tt> interfaces. Only the
ALSA plugin shipped with upstream GStreamer is as advanced and
featureful as <tt>gst-pulse</tt>.</p>

<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2>

<p>There is not much to say. Just install this software, the driver is
than available as elements <tt>pulsesink</tt>, <tt>pulsesrc</tt>,
<tt>pulsemixer</tt>. You may activate these devices using the Gnome
GStreamer properties tool.</p>

<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>

<p>Currently, <tt>gst-pulse</tt> is tested on Linux only.</p>

<p><tt>gst-pulse</tt> was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux
"testing" from October 2004, it should work on most other Linux
distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for
source code configuration.</p>

<p>Obviously <tt>gst-pulse</tt> requires an installation of
<a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio</a> (version 0.9.x) and <tt>gstreamer</tt> 0.10.x.</p>

<h2><a name="installation">Installation</a></h2>

<p>As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run
<tt>./configure</tt> inside the distribution directory for configuring
the source tree. After that you should run <tt>make</tt> for
compilation and <tt>make install</tt> (as root) for installation of
<tt>gst-pulse</tt>.</p>

<h2><a name="acks">Acknowledgements</a></h2>

<p>Jan Schmidt for some patches.</p>

<h2><a name="download">Download</a></h2>

<p>The newest release is always available from <a href="@PACKAGE_URL@">@PACKAGE_URL@</a></p>
