Hi,

There are a lot of bug fixes in:
http://meego.gitorious.org/maemo-multimedia/pulseaudio/trees/master/debian/patches
Some of them are already integrated into devel:multimedia/pulseaudio.

About integrating (some of) those:
Should we follow the normal process, or could a lighter process be 
concidered for them? Waiting for some segfaults to appear _in_MeeGo_, 
before submitting an already existing patch for it, sounds inefficient.

Maybe the ones that are purely fixes and contain no new features could 
be gathered into one submit, which then describes all the things they 
are supposed to fix. I mean without confirming each bug on meego, filing 
a bug and going though the usual.

For example, here is a very simple typo fix, that fixes audio input for 
resource policy(not yet integrated):
http://build.meego.com/request/show/11301
Do we need a bug for it BTW, this not being in T:T yet?

yours politely,
Sami Sirkiä, N900 adaptation.
