Build System:
- Remove symdef files and use macros (like most other projects)
- Use own name mangling scheme instead of ltdl's, which will eliminate the
I18N:
- iconv stuff sent from utils to server (UTF-8)
- iconv sample loading in server
-- Document utf8.h, timeval.h and util.h
- gettextify pulseaudio
Cleanups:
-- drop dependency of libpolyp on libX11, instead use an external mini binary
+- drop dependency of libpulse on libX11, instead use an external mini binary
+
+Network:
- module-tunnel: improve latency calculation
-- use software volume when hardware doesn't support all channels (alsa done)
-- using POSIX monotonous clocks wherever possible instead of gettimeofday()
+- module-tunnel: more reliable audio streaming over wifi
+- Compressed network streams for tunnels/rtp streams. (Might be a good GSoC project)
+ This builds on passthrough support. A good candidate codec would be CELT.
Test:
- autoload
- sasl auth
Features:
-- alsa driver with hw mixing
-- "window manager for sound"
-- chroot()
- use scatter/gather io for sockets
-- CODECs to reduce bandwidth usage (plug-in based)
-- multiline configuration statements
-- paplay needs to set a channel map. our default is only correct for AIFF.
- (we need help from libsndfile for this)
-- Fix a way for the threading API to handle state and subscription callbacks
- in a nice way.
- examine if it is possible to mimic esd's handling of half duplex cards
(switch to capture when a recording client connects and drop playback during
that time)
-- Support for device selection in waveout driver
- add an API to libpulse for allocating memory from the pa_context memory pool
-- allow buffer metric changes during runtime
-- better ".include" command in configuration files. should have glob support.
-- recursive .if
+- configuration file syntax:
+ - multiline configuration statements
+ - recursive .if
Long term:
- pass meta info for hearing impaired
Backends for:
- portaudio (semi-done)
-- sdl
-- xine (needs update)
