Hi.


Unfortunately I can't use some distro made by others. I'm working on a
project which strict demands that I build a distribution from scratch.
Sorry, but I would be very happy too if that was an option.

I'm building for 32bit because this distribution is meant to work on
many computers as possible, so building for 64bits isn't the better
way to make that happen.

I tried the exactly version of libatomic_ops that is linked on the pa
requirements page, that didn't worked out. Tried even a newer version
still the same result (the 7.x release pointed in the HP site). My GCC
version is 4.4.1, which is made to have atomic operations built in (at
least was what I was told on #pulseaudio), but still my config.log
shows that pulseaudio needs atomic_ops.

DBus is reporting machine ID as avant because its the distro codename,
and used in the dev environment. This distro will be released for
about 8k computer per month, so I really wanted to have pa support on
it, unfortunately give up of trying, so I downgraded my distro to work
only with Alsa, at least is a workaround to the first release of the
distro which will happen next month.
