no, Kay means Kempe - fighter. It is not his fault that americans love to give their daughters male names. Maybe because they wished to have a son. Or some kind suppressed gayness.... so when they screw their daughters they can pretend to fuck a boy. |
It's been a long time since I was shocked by something I read on the internet. Thanks for reminding me what that feels like. |
Let me know when you need a refresher course. |

I noticed something this morning as I was checking changed packages
because of use flags busybox wanted to rebuild with a "-systemd" setting
I then did a euse -i to see what all has the flag and it shows up a lot in gnome related packages.
LoL, I guess the move is on. 
Edit to add:
app-admin/openrc-settingsd: Use the versions of dbus and polkit files provided by sys-apps/systemd
app-emulation/qemu-guest-agent: Install SystemD init script instead of OpenRC
gnome-base/gdm: Use sys-apps/systemd for session tracking
gnome-base/gnome-control-center: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
gnome-base/gnome-session: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
gnome-base/gnome-shell: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
gnome-base/gvfs: Use sys-apps/systemd seat information for tracking owners of removable volumes
gnome-extra/gnome-packagekit: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for rebooting
gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver: Support sys-apps/systemd's logind
gnome-extra/gnome-system-monitor: Display sys-apps/systemd metadata, e.g. unit names, for running processes
media-sound/mpd: Enable support for systemd socket activation
media-sound/pulseaudio: Build with sys-apps/systemd support to replace standalone ConsoleKit.
net-misc/networkmanager: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
net-print/cups: Add support for systemd socket activation.
sys-apps/accountsservice: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
sys-apps/busybox: Support systemd
sys-apps/dbus: Build with sys-apps/systemd at_console support
sys-auth/pambase: Use pam_systemd module to register user sessions in the systemd control group hierarchy.
sys-auth/polkit: Use sys-apps/systemd instead of sys-auth/consolekit for session tracking
sys-fs/udisks: Support sys-apps/systemd's logind
sys-power/upower: Use sys-apps/systemd for hibernate and suspend

Pulseaudio is a real pain for anyone trying to do serious audio work on linux. Linux musicians have pretty much learned to avoid it like the plague. I'd like to see JACK at the core of Linux audio. |

I'm not sure I want systemd developers anywhere near my dangley bits.

Why?
I mean, what does JACK do for the average-joe linux user? |

Linux audio should have some kind of integrated design where you can move seamlessly from one use case to another: casual listening in stereo, multi-channel home cinema, or content production such as recording, mixing, mastering and movie-making. Skype and internet conferencing probably belong in the content production category too. If everybody just tries to do their own thing with no thought of how it all fits together, everybody ends up worse of. The platform becomes a struggle to work with, things keep breaking, and that starts a death spiral with falling numbers of users and developers. A broad base of compatibility also enables users to experiment and use the basic elements in new ways you didn't think of.
Jack is the pro-audio link in this chain with the low latency and tightly synchronised audio/midi streams you need for music production. It's the obvious thing to build on. |

| ALSA user space needs to completely disappear with either PulseAudio or JACK hooking directly into the kernel. |

and you are a developer of heavy sound applications so you have just voiced an informed opinion instead of just some juvenile crap?

Yeah, for definite. I never understood why jack didn't make it into the "mainstream" desktop, since it's always been the bomb. (Just look at any of the pro-audio distros like dyne or gentoo's pro-audio overlay if you don't believe us.) It's like saying "we don't need a decent libc to build on, we can just use any old crap, so long as it sort-of supports some shiny new use-case." It's still crap: the fact that it took however many years to get halfway workable just confirms it.
Still, I reckon that's more to do with the pulseaudio developer's love of the limelight and marketing hype, than anything else. IMO the essence of the UNIX philosophy is basically humility in the face of complexity (and one's own natural delight in creating code from thought which actually does something.) As a result, the serious coders, who designed and implemented the ecosystem we take for granted, don't usually go around beating their chests everywhere, demanding attention and users. They let their work speak for itself. |

I use alsa only, I've never needed any of these "helper" tools. In fact, I did try pulse for shits and giggles, and it broke absolutely everything sound related.
As far as the original topic, why on earth would udev block something like that? Are they retarded? |

Let me rephrase. ALSA user space is fine if you want to use just ALSA. |

And given that ALSA is *the* audio driver subsystem on Linux...

Uh, no.
* SIGH *
I don't think ALSA user space should be necessary if I'm running PulseAudio. |

And I don't think PulseAudio bloatspace is necessary if I'm already running ALSA.

I actually lauged at this one. PulseAudio uses ALSA as a dependency. |

| Since I am obviously doing such a poor job articulating my views, I will attempt to explain them more clearly. Currently, there are two main components to ALSA: the kernel drivers and the user space API. I believe that since PulseAudio is a user space daemon, it should completely replace ALSA's user space API if the user so wishes. For those who do not like PulseAudio, nothing needs to change. It's PulseAudio that needs to change. |

your posting does not make sense at all.
Apart from its shortcomings, it is also an extremely stupid idea. Why should an app that makes use of the full power of alsa - including ladspa plugins - be crippled just because some idiot dev thought that you must run pulseaudio?
Pulseaudio must never get in the way of other apps.
Sadly that is not true.

| Are you guys even on Gentoo? When were you ever forced to run PulseAudio? That's not what I'm talking about. This is for those who would want to run PulseAudio. ALSA, as it is, is fine. Nobody should force you to run PulseAudio. I, on the other hand, like it. But I think it could be done more efficiently. |

I started using it when trying to use the sink on my server (which is connected to the Hi-Fi) with a source on my laptop. Failed at that and gave up.
On one hand I'm still using it without issues, but on the other it doesn't give anything more then ALSA would on it's own :/ |
