hi all

i have little issue to "start script with apulse"

got here any developer of seamonkey ?

IIRC apulse would be a matter of running, say "apulse seamonkey", unless something changed

I've only seen it used with skype, though

apulse just need where have no pulseaudio system but program need to use it

for playing sounds

it's not working?

i told replace the script for checking pulseaudio before use "apulse"

some os use pulseaudio and there not work apulse seamonkey method ..

just without apulse

which script for checking pulseaudio?

just a little modification

#! /bin/bash

A='apulse'

[ "`pidof pulseaudio`" ]&& A=''

"$A" /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"

thats it ..

this check "pulseaudio" daemon

if running A variable will nothing

if not run the daemon A variable will apulse

before the seamonkey command

KuLuSz: you mean your system has such a script and that it's not working, or?

my buddy was try to use the script

his OS use puseaudio system

and apulse is not installed

he was install apulse

seamonkey get work

but no sound

i was told to him remove apulse command , just start the seamonkey command

and he get working sound

so i write this little script for change between alsa or pulseaudio system

njsg,

<KuLuSz> my buddy was try to use the script

<KuLuSz> his OS use puseaudio system

<KuLuSz> and apulse is not installed

<KuLuSz> he was install apulse

<KuLuSz> seamonkey get work

<KuLuSz> but no sound

<KuLuSz> i was told to him remove apulse command , just start the seamonkey command

<KuLuSz> and he get working sound

<KuLuSz> so i write this little script for change between alsa or pulseaudio system

and this script usable on aní linux OS-es

*any

Isn't SeaMonkey supposed to still work with ALSA?

(dunno how automatic is it, considering that I don't run web browsers on my ALSA-only machines)

tomman: has to be enabled during compilation (not sure if it requires other changes), but it's possible

oh, so it's not available on official release builds?

official builds are pulseaudio-only, I think

gotcha~

tomman alsa is not enabled in release builds. Previously with enabled tests compilation broke. It might still work ok but unless someone cares enough about it to test with both alsa and pulseaudio in a few distributions won't be enabled. I am not sure what the official status is but Firefox desupported it with 52.

frg_Away: IIRC, Mozilla deleted all of the ALSA code a few dozen releases ago

so it's Pulse or nothing

(it was already broken and nobody wanted to mess with it)

tomman unsure. I thought so too but searchfox.org/mozilla-central/searc…moz_alsa&path=&case=false®exp=false

zombie code!

the only ones that back then cared were the very vocal anti-Poetteringware league

tomman yes I remember the original bug 13xxx something I think.

isn't it still needed for bsd?

my script resolve the (not supported) pulseaudio sys

just need replace the start script ..

i think its not a big problem ..

thing is, seamonkey should support a pulseaudio system out of the box

yeah support if no apulse

apulse use own directories for imitate libpulse so files

but not run like the pulseaudio daemon

the alsa code still works fine if you compile on your own

may yes ..

but this is in the release package

frg_Away: BSDs don't use the advanced linux sound architecture, FreeBSD still has OSS, OpenBSD has sndio

KuLuSz: are you sure it's from the release package?

yes

this file is in /usr/bin

hm

may not the release pkg

sorry

yeah looks like my other buddy edit the release pkg and add this file to the system
