About

PulseAudio emulation for ALSA.

Tried compilation of the package for Debian, though it needed some modifications. Asoundlib.h was not found, because it is not asoundlib.h, but alsa/asoundlib.h Make sure libasound2-dev is installed.

Further goes the original readme.

Project is in stale state since its proclamation. The main objective, working Skype test call, is reached. I don't have any plans for further development.

Install

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
# make install

If you want 32-bit binaries on 64-bit machine (for example, for Skype), use:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ CFLAGS=-m32 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
# make install

There is a way to configure where apulse libraries will be installed, via APULSEPATH cmake variable. For example, if you want to install libraries into default path, /usr/lib, use

cmake -DAPULSEPATH=/usr/lib -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

If libraries are installed to a regular library path, you don't need run applications through apulse wrapper.

Note you need to select build type to be Release, otherwise it will output enourmous amount of debug text to the stdout.

Usage

$ apulse <program-name> [parameters]

Environment variables APULSE_CAPTURE_DEVICE and APULSE_PLAYBACK_DEVICE can be used to configure capture and playback devices. Try hw:0,0, plughw:0,0 and the like. Refer to the ALSA user guide for a full list of device names.
