Dear Debian maintainer,
On Thursday, August 30, 2007, I notified you of the beginning of a review
process
concerning debconf templates for nas.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.
Please review the suggested changes are suggested, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.
Please try to avoid uploading nas with these changes right now.
The second phase of this process will begin on Thursday, September 20, 2007,
when I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.
The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.
Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.
Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.
The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Thursday, October 11, 2007. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed
or changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.
Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.
Around <DAY25>, I will contact you again and will send a final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).
Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

_Description: Should nasd release /dev/dsp?
- The NAS server will by default open the audio device configured on your
- system at startup, and then keep it open until it is stopped. This will
- stop any audio clients that are not NAS aware from using the audio device.
- .
- nasd can be configured to release the audio device when it is not actively
- using it. There will almost always be a slight delay between the
- application using nas finishing and the audio device becoming available
- for other uses; this is due to the latency inherent in the design of nas
- and so cannot really be changed.
+ By default, the NAS server will open the configured audio device
+ at startup, and then keep it open until the server is stopped. This will
+ stop any non-NAS-aware audio clients from using the audio device.
.
- An alternative to this is to use the "audiooss" program (in the package of
- the same name) to wrap any programs that use /dev/dsp directly - it will
- intercept most uses of /dev/dsp and make the equivalent nas calls instead.
+ The daemon can be configured to release the audio device when it is
+ not using it, with some delay after the
+ application completes before the device is available.
.
- Should nasd release the audio device? (It is recommended to select this
- option unless you have special requirements.)

_Description: Should nasd change mixer settings at startup?
- The nas server will by default change the mixer settings at startup as
- follows:
- .
- * set PCM volume to 50%
- * change the record input device to LINE
+ If you choose this option, the NAS server will change the mixer settings
+ at startup as follows:
.
- Do you want it to do this? (Most people are expected to disable this option)
+ - set PCM volume to 50%;
+ - change the record input device to LINE.
