-Test:
-- module-combine
-- module-tunnel
-
-Fixes:
-- proper use of memcpy in procotol-esound.c so we don't get alignment problems
-- latency api rework for native protocol
-- notification on hw volume change
-- mute switch support (like ALSA does it)
-- module-oss-* love:
- - deal with underflows propely
- - improve latency measurement for mmap
-- module-alsa-* love:
- - volume control
- - add hw driver name to sink/source description
- - deal with underflows properly
-- module-tunnel volume support (sink, source, notify)
-
Post 0.8:
- alsa mmap driver
-- add radio module
- dbus/hal
- polish for starting polypaudio as root/system-wide instance
- chroot()
- port from howl to avahi
- multiline configuration statements
- use scatter/gather io for sockets
+- add a synchronous API (base it on xmms-polyp)
+- rtp module ported to Win32 (sendmsg/recvmsg emulation)
+- CODECs to reduce bandwidth usage (plug-in based)
+- Remove symdef files and use macros (like most other projects)
+- use software volume when hardware doesn't support all channels (alsa done)
+- double check channel maps for backends, including that mixer and pcm match
+- paplay needs to set a channel map. our default is only correct for AIFF.
+ (we need help from libsndfile for this)
+- silence generation should be moved into the core to avoid races and code
+ duplication in the backends
+- 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)
Long term:
- pass meta info for hearing impaired
- portaudio (semi-done)
- sdl
- OSS (esddsp style)
+- gstreamer (needs to be updated)
+- fix channel maps in all external backends. Take care when doing volume
+ changes if you're modifying a sink/source since those might have a different
+ map.
