PulseAudio 6.0 Gains Systemd Socket Activation Support, BlueZ 5 Features

Sorry it's taking so long. I'm juggling a few things and this is still in the works.

OK, so I'm making a livedvd/usb to make creating apples to apples benchmarks using PTS. Sorry this is taking so long. I haven't tried making one yet so I didn't already have a good environment set up. I got most of it done so from now on making new livedvd/usbs will be quicker.

Hopefully by tommorrow I'll have these benchmarks posted.

You're looking to test PA performance impact?

Yeah, more or less. I could have just installed PA and benchmarked, but I want to have a benchmark environment that other people can critique and produce benchmarks of their own hardware in an apples to apples environment.

I built a few LIveDVD/USBs with xfce+openrc+alsa, gnome3+systemd+pa, and kde4+systemd+pa. Right now I'm playing with PTS to show CPU graph. Still benchmarking.

EDIT: I'm actually quite impressed with how gentoo devs implemented systemd, even with it installed openrc still works.

I'd expect that's actually systemd's sysv compatibility rather than anything to do with openrc or Gentoo tbh

Regardless, it's still a good idea. And it works well. Every script I wrote works unmodified.

The more pessimistic of us expect this compatibility will bitrot and go away once Debian and friends are migrated over. Guess we'll see

If it happens, they'll piss a lot of people off and lose some of their userbase. Of course from what I can tell they don't really care much about their userbase. The only reason I haven't gotten pissed off and quite trying already is because it's working. If it didn't work I would already have quite trying.

The plethora of systemd fanboys and zealots that spam this forum alone suggests the dumber the userbase the better.

That statement coming from you is an excellent example for the meaning of "Irony".

That's because Gentoo installs sysvinit and openrc side by side and you can't really remove openrc (and thus sysvinit) on a (stable) systemd-only system. AFAIK gentoo doesn't use systemd's sysvinit compatibility module.
