<div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#000000">TLDR: I want to know if I should include PulseAudio 4.0 in the win32 builds of X2Go Client 4.0.2.x.

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">I have managed to compile PulseAudio 4.0 (the latest) for win32. I also managed to compile 3.0. The builds are here:</font></div>

<div><font color="#000000">I am hoping that this bug might be fixed in </font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">PulseAudio </span><font color="#000000">HEAD/master, but I am still trying to compile it. Even if it is fixed, that doesn't mean we will necessarily ship HEAD/master.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">I also am not aware of any x2goclient-relevant win32 improvements to </font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">PulseAudio </span><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000">since 1.1.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif" color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000">So I want feedback if we should include PulseAudio 4.0 in X2Go Client 4.0.2.x. My gut feeling is "yes, because we should stay current with upstream."</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000">I also want to know if for the sake of testing, I should post a 4.0.1.2 build with </font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">PulseAudio </span><font color="#000000">4.0, or post a HEAD build with it. I can do the former within 2 days, and the latter within 5 days or so.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000">I have done a small amount of testing of 4.0; I haven't seen any regressions.</font></div><div><font color="#000000"><br></font></div><div><font color="#000000">-Mike#2</font></div>
