[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] log: Add support for the systemd journal

Hi,

> This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its
> native API.

does this have any advantages over using syslog?

I suggest to make the relation between 'journal' and systemd more clear in 
configure (so one knows what to install)

the default log target (if deamonized) could be changed from syslog to 
journal if available

what version of systemd is required?

one nitpick inline

regards, p.

return value?

just wondering: syslog and stderr convert utf8 to locale, is journal utf8?
