Polypaudio has been advertised here as well. I've looked at it and it is
actually pretty good, but ASFAIK it still hasn't got a gstreamer driver, or
proven that a synchronized gstreamer driver is even possible.
Currently I have more an idea of a freedesktop.org standard for specifying
soundserver or output that all frameworks could share or atleast support. e.g
it could read:
alsa: default
polypaudio: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yy
jackd: mychannel
oss: /dev/dsp
If the audio-framework supports the audio-output specified first, it opens the
output device after the colon.
The point is there is no reason to have a soundserver like polypaudio or artsd
if you are only playing audio locally, but being unix desktops we should
also support network transparency.
