*** $Id$ *** Build System: - Remove symdef files and use macros (like most other projects) - Use own name mangling scheme instead of ltdl's, which will eliminate the need for .la files or extra trickery. - build pulsecore only statically by default, it's not a public API yet Porting: - rtp module ported to Win32 (sendmsg/recvmsg emulation) I18N: - iconv stuff sent from utils to server (UTF-8) - iconv sample loading in server - Document utf8.h, timeval.h and util.h - gettextify polypaudio Cleanups: - drop dependency of libpolyp on libX11, instead use an external mini binary - merge module-oss-mmap into module-oss - module-tunnel: improve latency calculation - use software volume when hardware doesn't support all channels (alsa done) - silence generation should be moved into the core to avoid races and code duplication in the backends - don't read/write audio data from/to ALSA devices if noone is listening - using POSIX monotonous clocks wherever possible instead of gettimeofday() Test: - autoload Auth/Crypto: - ssl - key rings for auth - challenge response auth - sasl auth Features: - alsa mmap driver - alsa driver with hw mixing - "window manager for sound" - chroot() - use scatter/gather io for sockets - CODECs to reduce bandwidth usage (plug-in based) - multiline configuration statements - paplay needs to set a channel map. our default is only correct for AIFF. (we need help from libsndfile for this) - Fix a way for the threading API to handle state and subscription callbacks in a nice way. - examine if it is possible to mimic esd's handling of half duplex cards (switch to capture when a recording client connects and drop playback during that time) - Support for device selection in waveout driver - add an API to libpulse for allocating memory from the pa_context memory pool - allow buffer metric changes during runtime - "include" command in configuration files. should have glob support. Long term: - pass meta info for hearing impaired - X11: support for the X11 synchronization extension Backends for: - portaudio (semi-done) - sdl - xine (needs update)
