KDE 2.2 Release and Solaris/Sparc audio issues
by Gerhard Frnke on Thursday 19/Jul/2001, @08:58

Is it planned to fully support Sun Audio in KDE 2.2 Release?

After arts finally supports Sun Audio in KDE-2.2Beta1 it would
be nice if some other audio-apps would also work as expected.

1. The ogg-vorbis plugins (mpeglib, oggvorbis_artsplugin) don`t consider the endianess
of the sparc architecture. ov_read() deals with that.

2. Some applications (e.g. mpeglib,kmix) were accessing the audio(ctl) device directly
by hardcoding the path to the devices. Especially Suns SunRays do not use these.
The SunRay-serversoftware uses $AUDIODEV to access the audiodevices.
For the audioctl device, one has to append "ctl" to the value of $AUDIODEV.

3. mpeglib will not be built by default for the sparc architecture, but why not? It seems to work.

4. There are some other (non audio) issues, but I don't remember exactly...
