-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I must say that I am disappointed in the fix for this bug.
I've been intentionally disabling avahi on all my linux machines (let's just say I'm not a fan of auto-discovery or avahi in general). the mDNS portion of avahi really causes me problems with my wireless networks. When an IP address doesn't get leased from my DHCP server for whatever reason, mDNS tries to auto-assign an address, and wastes a lot of time during link-state negotiation with an address I never wanted to begin with, and fails anyway. This wastes a lot of my time. I've tried removing avahi, but many packages I use claim to be dependant on it. Are they really? I doubt it. Why is padevchooser "dependant" on avahi? Why should libpulse-browse0 be dependant on avahi? Speaking for others who run their own dhcp and dns servers, no thank you. I don't want it. If there is no valid network present, then let pulse use the loopback address or no network at all, instead of bombing out. Please. Avahi is supposed to simplify networks, not complicate them, but it has done nothing for me but cause me heartache, and make me consider using more WinDoze boxes again. I wish avahi were not a dependency of any package, because I would LOVE to scrap it from every one of my systems. Please take this into account in future versions of pulseaudio.
