>>Hi Maarten,
>>Here are the 2 patches as you suggested (both patches can be compiled
>>separately). I also integrated one of your remarks, but not all. Like
>>concerning the file naming, as you said it might be a bit too
>>complicated and appending the file or creating a new one might be
>>enough. But it remains a powerful way to debug pulseaudio and it is more
>>direct than using syslog.
>>I also wrote a module dedicated to log PCM samples, configurable for
>>sinks and/or sources with or without their respective sink inputs/source
>>outputs. I will submit it probably next month.

The patches were handled at the meeting yesterday
http://colin.guthr.ie/meetings/pulseaudio-meeting/2011/pulseaudio-meeting.2011-02-24-21.02.html

Some changes are necessary, but basically adding the file log target
is ACKed. The other change about string format handling needs further
review though.

If you need some help with getting patches ready, I can be of
assistance, just let me know.
