<div class="news-date">Sat Jul 8 2006: </div> <p class="news-text"><a href="@PACKAGE_URL@padevchooser-0.9.2.tar.gz">Version 0.9.2</a> released; initial release</p>
<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>
<p>PulseAudio Device Chooser (<tt>padevchooser</tt>) is a simple GTK tool which registers an icon in the tray area and allows quick access to some features of the <a href="http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pulseaudio/">PulseAudio sound server</a>. Specifically it can do for you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Notify about new sink/sources becoming available on the LAN</li>
<li>Quickly change the default PulseAudio sink/source/server assigned to the current X11 display, selecting devices available on the LAN</li>
<li>Start the auxiliary tools <a href="http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pavucontrol/">PulseAudio Volume Control</a>, <a href="http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pavumeter/">PulseAudio Volume Meter</a>, <a href="http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/paman/">PulseAudio Manager</a>, <a href="http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/paprefs/">PulseAudio Preferences</a>
</ul>

<h2><a name="status">Current Status</a></h2>
<p>Works perfectly.</p>
<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2>
<p>There is not much to say. Just run <tt>padevchooser</tt> and see for yourself.</p>
<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
<p>Currently, <tt>padevchooser</tt> is tested on Linux only.</p>
<p><tt>padevchooser</tt> was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from June 2006, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.</p>
<p><tt>padevchooser</tt> requires GTK 2.4, <tt>libnotify</tt>, GConf installed.</p>
<p>Obviously <tt>padevchooser</tt> requires an installation of <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio</a> (version 0.9.2), compiled with ZeroConf support. For being discovered correctly PulseAudio servers need to load <tt>module-zeroconf-publish</tt> and <tt>module-native-protocol-tcp</tt>.</p>
<h2><a name="installation">Installation</a></h2>
<p>As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run <tt>./configure</tt> inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run <tt>make</tt> for compilation and <tt>make install</tt> (as root) for installation of <tt>padevchooser</tt>.</p>
<h2><a name="acks">Acknowledgements</a></h2>
<p>None so far.</p>
