Bug 223531

Pierre, any progress on this ? 
We'd really like to have this in place for test2

The esound/esound-libs split has happened by now.

pulseaudio.spec patch

Here is a patch to make pulseaudio install /usr/bin/esd. Please ?

I'm just overworked, no need to beg. :)

This patch poses a problem though, you can't have pulse and esd in at the same
time. So I suggest splitting the esd script to its own file.

Also, I'm not sure the esd tools should be packaged with the daemon. You might
still want the tools even though you use pulse's esd compat stuff. (e.g. contact
another esd server).

Well, the idea is that pulseaudio and esound conflict, so you can have only one
of the two installed. That was the reason for splitting esound-libs off the main
  esound package - nothing requires esound anymore, only /usr/bin/esd, which can
be provided either by esound or pulseaudio

It is certainly possible to split off esound-tools, too, if you think there is a
need for that.

I don't see a value in creating a conflict where there is none. I propose a
esound-compat package that Conflicts: with esound.

I would think that esound-tools is needed. Another use case if you want to debug
the esound support because some esound using application is misbehaving.

Proposed solution:

http://homes.drzeus.cx/~drzeus/pulseaudio.spec

That works too.  I assume you want to remove the Conflicts line from the main
package.

I'll look into splitting off esound-tools.

That -compat-esd package works fine for me, with the hal that is in tomorrows
rawhide. 

Would be great to see pulseaudio-esound-compat in rawhide soon, so that we can
start pulling things together for test2

I'm waiting for a response on bug 223534 so I can push that update at the same
time. :)

Done.
