BoF for Linux distributors involved in packaging the kernel

The Linux audio environment is a mess. Everybody who develops Linux audio software knows this; anybody who uses anything more than basic desktop playback applications (and maybe even just that) knows this too. How did things get to be this way? Can it be solved? What is required to solve it? This talk will be less of a presentation of novel technical material and will instead focus more on the differences (and similarities) between Linux, OS X and Windows and how this has affected the audio environment on each platform.

What happened in the last year in Linux audio?

This presentation aims at sharing lessons learned with the Linux audio stack (gstreamer, PulseAudio, ALSA) on recent consumer and mobile Intel devices.

This presentation gives an example how to integrate complex audio enhancement algorithms like acoustic echo canceler to Pulseaudio and how to implement really low audio latency applications as PA modules.
