Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2006-09-29 09:28:31 CEST
This bug is about adding sound redirection support to the OSX client. That means
porting PulseAudio to OSX.
Comment 1 Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2011-11-23 09:49:34 CET
PulseAudio seems to have support for coreaudio/OS X now.

OS X 10.5 is needed though, so we have to upgrade our current requirements and build system.
Comment 3 Jens Maus 2013-11-18 11:53:02 CET
As this bug has been open for quite a while now (2006) and not been addressed yet (ThinLinc 4.1.1), we as a ThinLinc customer would like to explicitly express our wish to see full sound support/redirection in an upcoming OSX client version of ThinLinc since we are running ThinLinc Clients for a bunch of OSX machines here.

We also would highly appreciate that Mac OS X is fully supported by the thinlinc client. This means that audio should works like under Linux and Windows. Our users use skype as well as video editing software - for both audio is a mandatory feature (play and record).

Tested build 4680 on OS X 10.10 and 10.6, works fine.
Comment 12 Jens Maus 2015-03-04 09:53:52 CET
I just tested the latest nightly build (4.3.0post build 4680) on OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 as well and can report that sound works as expected now with a ThinLinc Server version 4.3.0.

Thanks for implementing pulseuadio support in the OS X clients of ThinLinc. This really improves user experience.
Comment 13 Henrik Andersson cendio 2015-03-19 09:54:45 CET
Tested using client build 4696 on both 10.6 and 10.10.

Playback/recording and reconnecting to a session with sound works as expected.
Comment 14 Pierre Ossman cendio 2015-04-01 13:19:19 CEST
Needs to be retested after gcc fix.
Comment 15 Henrik Andersson cendio 2015-04-13 09:49:02 CEST
Retested using build 4723, works as expected.
