Hi!
I wanted to make this work so I have applied this patch to the
pulseaudio package and rebuilt it. After installing the new version I
could not notice any changes in KDE. Took me some time to realize that
I need to explicitly load the plugin because it is not loaded
automatically from /etc/pulse/default.pa.
First I have considered to just add the command there, then decided to
change the package to enable this in the default configuration. But
after checking out the package it turned out that Colin Guthrie (who
created the module) also added some KDE specific startup scripts.
I'm attaching patches to install these scripts with the module and to
also fix the autostart desktop file currently used to be ignored in
KDE. This way the module is automatically loaded but only in KDE.
only-start-from-kde-specific.patch - this disables
/etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop in KDE (this should probably go
upstream)
enable-module-device-manager.patch - install the module and the
startup script & desktop file
(There are two patches because one should go in the patches branch and
the other in the master branch.)
I would like to see these patches in the next version. And I guess
most KDE & pulseaudio users would like to see this as soon as possible
:)
Regards,
Zsolt
