Description Vladi 2015-06-05 23:12:57 UTC
I had to do this to fix the crackling while using googletalk plugin in firefox:

replace /opt/google/talkplugin/GoogleTalkPlugin with:

#!/bin/sh
# Define current dir as a variable
CURRENT_DIR=`dirname $0`
# Execute the Google Talk Plugin BIN file with the right PULSE environment
exec env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 $CURRENT_DIR/GoogleTalkPlugin.bin

I see, exporting PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC is the trick.

But this seems more to be a hack for media-sound/pulseaudio than for www-plugins/google-talkplugin, CCing sound.

Looks like the way to go would be to fix it in googletalk side:

I meant if we have to do the export for net-im/skype and www-plugins/google-talkplugin would it be cleaner to have media-sound/pulseaudio export it.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2015-06-07 20:56:29 UTC
I disagree as looks like a bug in both and, then, I see not much sense on forcing PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC to all the apps that are running properly already

with recent
www-plugins/google-talkplugin-5.41.3.0::gentoo
and
pulseaudio-13,

is this issue still valid? Can be closed, if everything works correctly?

Non issue any more, Thanks.
