[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] add module-virtual-surround-sink

[Niels Ole Salscheider]

Hello,

It seems that this was not enabled in my git config (although I cannot remember 
disabling it). I have fixed the mentioned lines.

Both fixed.

I think that is not allowed in C89/C90...

That sounds sensible. I think at some point I got confused by sink_input being 
the input for the master sink that accepts the output signal I compute.

I hope I got it right now. I have attached a new version of my patch.
