Is it possible to put code somewhere like GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab, so that other people can comment conveniently, because mailing list is kind of weird (personal opinion) in 2016. I'm participating in other projects, and GitHub (even mirror just for PRs and their discussion, not primary repo) helps significantly. It is really useful when 3 non-maintainers wrote some comments, PR is improved in process and when maintainer comes there is less work for him. Passing all this information through everyone on mailing list is counterproductive in many ways. <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Sincerely, Nazar Mokrynskyi github.com/nazar-pc Skype: nazar-pc Diaspora: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nazarpc@diaspora.mokrynskyi.com">nazarpc@diaspora.mokrynskyi.com</a> Tox: A9D95C9AA5F7A3ED75D83D0292E22ACE84BA40E912185939414475AF28FD2B2A5C8EF5261249</pre> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 28.03.16 11:42, Alexander E.

That includes encouraging our contributors to implement features externally to PulseAudio if it is easier. And an external module SDK would also be a step forward. I also think I should try porting the existing RAOP2 patch set to make it an ALSA plugin instead, to set an example of the "externally where it is easier" rule. </blockquote> </body> </html>
