Description

The "Requirements" section on http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/polypaudio/ says:

"Optionally it can make use of ... HOWL (or preferably the compatibility layer included in its superior replacement Avahi) ..."

However, the configure script only checks for "howl >= 0.9.8", but not for "avahi-compat-howl >= 0.9.8", so detection of HOWL/Avahi fails (avahi-0.6.9, polypaudio-0.8).

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to wontfix.

There is a good reason why Avahi is not detected out of the box. Avahi just isn't HOWL. This is documented by the Avahi project, btw:

http://avahi.org/browser/trunk/docs/COMPAT-LAYERS

Please note that I am both the core developer of Polypaudio and of Avahi. In the near future I plan to dump HOWL support in Polypaudio and replace it by native Avahi support. Polypaudio's Zeroconf predates Avahi hence it still uses the old HOWL API.

Please be patient until we release an Avahi-only version of Polypaudio!
