[pulseaudio-discuss] Google ChromeOS reinventing the wheel, ignoring PulseAudio

[Vlad]

Dear PusleAudio developers,

I'd like to let you know that Google ChromeOS recently started a brand new project called "ADHD", which from what I can tell aims to do the same thing that PulseAudio already does, bypassing it in favor of interacting directly with ALSA:

http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/adhd.git;a=summary

http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/adhd.git;a=commit;h=8982204dee44ece1cef2178747a27f08beb374cf

Perhaps it is worth trying to convince the Google ChromeOS developers to instead build/improve/adapt PulseAudio for their needs? It would seem that would benefit everybody by preventing fragmentation in the Free Software stack.

Thanks,
Vlad
