Accessibility

  • Uploaded latest upstrea version of onboard to lucid
  • Patch review of speech-dispatcher audio improvements, still haven't yet got into lucid to do thorough testing.

Audio

  • Audio bug triaging, bugs in question are against pulseaudio, alsa userspace, and the kernel for hardware enablement.
  • Wrote final mac mini 3,1 hardware enablement patch. Should work, but needs testing. Have had some users contact me about the work, so can hopefully give them something to test in the next few days.
  • For a small amount of time when running lucid, was able to reproduce the 5.1 annoyances users are reporting with pulseaudio in karmic. I need to try some other test parameters/configurations, to be sure it is still a problem.
  • Uploaded rtkit 0.5, which was promptly followed by Daniel Chen uploading rtkit 0.6.
  • Involved in discussions about pulseaudio, and console screen reading/speech output, since some vocal blind linux community members are badgering me about it.

Misc

  • Alpha 2 testing.
  • Still get random resets in lucid. I need to spend a day finding what the problem is.
