Did you actually read all of the thread, including the various complications and issues that arise when you try to synchronize audio and video on a remote display if the sound server isn't an X extension? I'm not saying they are impossible to resolve any other way, but it certainly *adds* complexity to have the sound protocol be external to the display protocol.Why is everyone gungho about supporting sound in X? X is a windowing system. Its about graphics. Its not about sound, and never will be about sound. So why is Xouvert officially supporting such an abhoration?
Is an X application used by the blind all about graphics?To me, X is an I/O mechanism. It presents information to the user, and it receives input from the user.
