<h2><a name="overview">Overview</a></h2>
<p><tt>gst-pulse</tt> is a <a href="http://www.gstreamer.net/">GStreamer 0.10</a> plugin for the <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio sound server</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="status">Current Status</a></h2>
<p>It ist tested and works quite fine. The plugin is quite advanced as it includes both a sink and a source, and implements the <tt>GstMixer</tt> and <tt>GstPropertyProbe</tt> interfaces. Only the ALSA plugin shipped with upstream GStreamer is as advanced and featureful as <tt>gst-pulse</tt>.</p>
<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2>
<p>There is not much to say. Just install this software, the driver is than available as elements <tt>pulsesink</tt>, <tt>pulsesrc</tt>, <tt>pulsemixer</tt>. You may activate these devices using the Gnome GStreamer properties tool.</p>
<h2><a name="requirements">Requirements</a></h2>
<p>Currently, <tt>gst-pulse</tt> is tested on Linux only.</p>
<p><tt>gst-pulse</tt> was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from October 2004, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.</p>
<p>Obviously <tt>gst-pulse</tt> requires an installation of <a href="http://pulseaudio.org/">PulseAudio</a> (version 0.9.x) and <tt>gstreamer</tt> 0.10.x.</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>gst-pulse</tt>.</p>
<h2><a name="acks">Acknowledgements</a></h2>
