[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#548821: pulseaudio: should depend on udev >= 143 (or 146) for udev detection to work.

[Daniel Pittman]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.18-1
Severity: normal

G'day.  After updating pulseaudio, but not udev, on my machine I no longer
have any audio devices auto-detected.  This is, I think, because the udev
support is documented upstream to require version 143 or greater, and I have:

ii  udev  0.141-2  /dev/ and hotplug management daemon

PulseAudio should probably have appropriate dependency information to avoid
this mixed installation model if udev device discovery is the standard; at the
very least I would hope that it could reduce the pain.

udev is held back, FYI, because of the need for the mdadm to update to reflect
some change or other in udev, which is not yet available; this machine uses
software RAID during boot.

Regards,
        Daniel
