Bug 41978 – OpenAL CVS ebuild, has ALSA capture support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aaron Gyes 2004-02-17 17:52:34 UTC]

The current OpenAL in portage is very old. This will solve the problem of oldness and allow people to have voice chat in UT2004 with ALSA in Gentoo. Uses patch against openal cvs from http://icculus.org/~warp/ut2004/. Someone smarter than me way want to add Gentoo-specific instructions for voice chat to pkg_postinst.

I screwed up the use stuff, don't ask me why, I do feel stupid.

I think we should update our OpenAL to this latest version.  If we need to, I'll create a new "snapshot" ebuild and submit it to the tree.  This version of OpenAL fixes problems with the VoIP in Unreal Tournament 2004, and honestly, the version we currently have in portage is unusable due to its age.

Chris, could you prepare the snapshot.  I don't use openal, so I can't really test it out.  Since you use it, if you want to take maintainership of openal, feel free to add yourself to the metadata.xml file I just added.

Added to CVS and marked myself as the maintainer
