%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ PulseAudio The PulseAudio package is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy for your sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware. Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one are easily achieved using a sound server. &lfs70_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &pulseaudio-md5sum; Download size: &pulseaudio-size; Estimated disk space required: &pulseaudio-buildsize; Estimated build time: &pulseaudio-time; PulseAudio Dependencies Required , , , and Recommended Recommended (If you are going to use it with GNOME) , and Optional , BlueZ, FFTW, , JACK, libasyncns, Secret Rabbit Code (a.k.a. libsamplerate), LIRC, , ORC, tdb and Valgrind User Notes: Install PulseAudio by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --libexecdir=/usr/lib \ --with-module-dir=/usr/lib/pulse/modules && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --libexecdir=/usr/lib: This parameter ensures that internal PulseAudio helpers are installed in /usr/lib/pulse instead of /usr/libexec/pulse . ---with-module-dir=/usr/lib/pulse/modules: This parameter ensures that PulseAudio modules are installed in /usr/lib/pulse/modules instead of /usr/lib/pulse-&pulseaudio-version;/modules.
