Hi Tanu and others,

1st of all, I am new to packaging, git, and to the pulseaudio project.
I read the pages on the wiki about patches. I wasn't sure if the patch
file was hosted as a file on a website or on git. So I copied and
pasted Tanu's patch text from the email:
[pulseaudio-discuss] [PATCH] thread-win32: Implement pa_thread_free_nojoin()
but I changed the patch's header to this:
--- src/pulsecore/thread-win32.c.orig
+++ src/pulsecore/thread-win32.c
And I named it:  thread-win32.patch

Anyway, the patch seems to have worked, but now I am getting a different error.
