Finally it works...
First, compile this to an .so and use LD_PRELOAD to load it:
#include <string.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <assert.h>
typedef int pa_bool_t;
typedef struct pa_mutex_t {
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
} pa_mutex;
char* pa_machine_id() {
char buf[256];
assert(gethostname(buf, sizeof(buf)) =3D=3D 0);
return strdup(buf);
}
pa_mutex* pa_mutex_new(pa_bool_t recursive, pa_bool_t inherit_priority) {
// we don't support inherit_priority for now
pa_mutex *m;
pthread_mutexattr_t attr;
assert(pthread_mutexattr_init(&attr) =3D=3D 0);
if (recursive)
assert(pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE) =
=3D=3D
0);
m =3D malloc(sizeof(pa_mutex));
assert(pthread_mutex_init(&m->mutex, &attr) =3D=3D 0);
return m;
}
This solves the connection problem with pulse audio, but you still can't
make calls or send messages. You need the experimental epoll patch from
http://lev.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/patches/linux_epoll.patch for the epoll
syscall. You may also need to disable shared memory at the server side of
pulse audio by changing /usr/local/etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
Then it works. Sound input / sound output / webcam all ok.
The main problems:
1. pa_machine_id returns dbus' machine id, where on freebsd it should
return the machine's name.
2. priority inherited mutexes are not supported by the linux emulation
layer yet
3. epoll is not implemented
