Hi all (esp. Alex),
I am currently contracted for fixing PyHoca-GUI on Windows 7. While
doing that I found that PulseAudio 1.1 is available as Windows binaries:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Ports/Windows/Support
With PyHoca-GUI this seems to be a great improvement. I guess, that we
should ship pulseaudio 1.1 with x2goclient, as well (if not already
done, sorry for not being up-to-date here).
Mike

Out of curiousity, will your fixes work for XP and Vista as well? (I remember other users on the list complaining about slow startup; my attempts to run PyHoca-GUI failed completely.)

This is something Alex and I discussed just yesterday. :-D Funny coincidence. Following his suggestion, I already experimented with it (it is possible to switch between old and new pulseaudio during a running session, as long as there's no application that wants to play sound at the moment you're switching) and it seems to work a lot better (no more freezes/crashes when playing long youtube videos, etc.).
It would be nice if Alex could provide us with a timeframe - if it will take a while and there's sufficient interest on the list, I could try to write a wrapper that slaps the new pulseaudio over the old one, per x2goclient-call, or at least publish the steps I used for testing so more experienced users can try it manually.

A wrapper is not needed. The older pulseaudio files just have to be
replaced by the new ones during the build process of the setup.exe.

That is obviously the preferred way for an official release. The wrapper, on the other hand, would allow to choose between "beta" - the new pulseaudio, and "release" - the old pulseaudio, by either starting wrapper.exe or x2goclient.exe.

Version v1.1 is a release... http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/tag/?id=v1.1
Beta-stuff is around 1.99.x, which does not have a Windows binary on
the market, yet.

I was not talking about the beta/release status of pulseaudio, but about a x2goclient "beta".

The Windows support of PyHoca-GUI probably has never been perfect.
Currently, I am working on this with main focus. I develop on Windows
7, but I use only stuff that should run on XP. About Vista... be
serious... things should work there as well, but I have no test rig
for that.
PyHoca-GUI on Windows will always be a little slower than the Linux
version as the whole Python framework shipped with PyHoca has to be
launched before the application can start. Once it is loaded the
applet should be usable.
