News Thu 14 Aug 2008: [10]Version 0.7 released; changes include: documentation updates; various bug fixes; add this web site/README; allow playback of event sounds with only a sound file path specified; other changes Overview libcanberra is an implementation of the [11]XDG Sound Theme and Name Specifications, for generating event sounds on free desktops, such as [12]GNOME. It comes with several backends ([13]ALSA, [14]PulseAudio, null) and is designed to be portable. It consists of the following parts: 1. libcanberra: the main library 2. libcanberra-gtk: some glue code to make it easier to use libcanberra from Gtk+ applications 3. libcanberra-gtk-module: a Gtk+ module that uses libcanberra-gtk to trigger input feedback event sounds For more information see [15]the original announcement. Current Status libcanberra is mostly feature complete. For now however it includes backends only for ALSA and PulseAudio. libcanberra has been declared [16]a blessed GNOME dependency. Documentation You may browse the [17]gtkdoc generated [18]programing documentation of the API. Requirements Currently, libcanberra is tested on Linux only. libcanberra was developed and tested on Fedora Rawhide from August 2008, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf and GNU libtool for source code configuration and shared library management. libcanberra has no dependencies besides the OGG Vorbis development headers and whatever the selected backends require. Gtk+ support is optional. Installation As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of libcanberra. Acknowledgements None so far.
