#44: Esound-sink module respecting the ESPEAKER enviroment variable

     Type:  enhancement               |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  normal                    |   Milestone:         
Component:  module-esound-*           |    Severity:  normal 
 Keywords:  sink, enviroment, cookie  |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 I want to have module-esound-sink to respect the ESPEAKER enviroment
 variable and use it. This is because, sometimes ESD is started with
 autospawn and that uses the ESPEAKER enviroment variable to connect with
 the ESD server. I also want it to use the cookie which is in the
 homedirectory of the user.

 I want to use this feature, because I need to use ESD for network
 transparancy. I can't use PulseAudio for it. I only want PulseAudio to be
 a "sound proxy" and redirects all trafic to ESD.

 The ESPEAKER enviroment variable isset as the following
 ESPEAKER="127.0.0.1:16001". The Esound cookie files are, in my case,
 located in the home folder (/home/<user>/.esd_auth).

 I've created some C code for it, to respect the ESPEAKER enviroment
 variable, but I don't know if it's going to work (not tested yet).

 {{{
 /* Beginning from line 366 of the original src/modules/module-esound-
 sink.c of the stable (0.9.5) version */
     char* esdenviroment = getenv("ESPEAKER");
     char* envserver;
     char* envport;
     int intenvport = 16001;
     char* delimitpos = 0;

     delimitpos = strchr(*esdenviroment, ':');

     if (delimitpos != NULL)
     {
         strncpy(*envserver, *esdenviroment, delimitpos - esdenviroment +
 1);
         esdenviroment = delimitpos;
         esdenviroment++;
         strncpy(*envport, *esdenviroment, strlen(esdenviroment));

         intenvport = atoi(envport);
     }


     if (!(u->client = pa_socket_client_new_string(u->core->mainloop, p =
 pa_modargs_get_value(ma, "server", ESD_UNIX_SOCKET_NAME),
 ESD_DEFAULT_PORT))) {
         pa_log("failed to connect to server. Trying to use the ESPEAKER
 enviroment variable.");

         if (!(u->client = pa_socket_client_new_string(u->core->mainloop, p
 = envserver, intenvport))) {
             pa_log("faild to connect to server.");

             goto fail;
         }
     }
 }}}
