[pulseaudio-discuss] Pulseaudio and hal deprecation/DeviceKit.

[Luke Yelavich]

Hi all
For the next version of Ubuntu, the userspace hardware guys want to deprecate hal if not completely, then as much as possible, They've already started moving stuff like network manager bits away from hal. Given that Pulse still relies on hal somewhat heavily, I am wondering what the plans are regarding Pulse and the future of hal support/using DeviceKit etc. Since pulseaudio now uses libudev, is that the route that will be taken in the future?

I don't know a lot about this layer, in terms of future plans, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
