First of all thanks for the great work with OpenAL. It has allowed me
to use Second Life with PulseAudio in Linux so that I can get voice
support. 1.8.466 has been great. I saw the new version was
available, so I downloaded, built and dropped it in as a replacement
for 1.8.466. Unfortunately, all doesn't appear well for me and Second
Life with the latest OpenAl Soft lib. Second Life apparently opens
different streams for different things. Voice, media (like an
internet radio stream) and the base UI stream for feedback and
environment sounds. They all work just fine with 1.9.563 except the
base UI stream. The PulseAudio manager shows the stream is started
under 'Sinks' but I do not get audio. I can play in-world internet
radio streams and use voice (capture and playback) without issue. I
have tried to discern any error(s) by running via a command line, but
to no avail. I have used the latest alsoftrc.samples to construct my
config. I change the sample in only one way. I set drivers = pulse.
I'm not sure how to help debug this issue. I know that 1.8.466 works
simply as a replacement to Linden Labs OpenAl lib, but 1.9.563 does
not. I'm certainly willing to do some debugging if someone can point
me in the right direction.
