Package: gqrx-sdr
Version: 2.3.1-2.0.1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
Hi. I recently installed gqrx-sdr from jessie (2.3.1-2) and found that
it required pulseaudio. I don't run pulse on this system as it breaks
some other software.
Although gqrx-sdr installed okay without the pulseaudio daemon being
installed, gqrx did not start successfully. AFAIK, there is no way to
disable libpulse at runtime.
I decided to recompile with the attached patch to build an alsa binary.
This works. I'd like to see this supported by debian, perhaps by
building two packages, gqrx-pulse and gqrx-alsa. Please consider this
and other options to support a non-pulseaudio system.
Thank you.
-Chris
