That doesnt mean much for Dom 3. But I find it interesting.
DISCLAIMER: Purely guesswork from this point on.
Im thinking Johan has been playing with PulseAudio in the new programming project. Having it down pat, he went back and added it to Dom3.

Quote:
PulseAudio is a sound server, a background process accepting sound input from one or more sources (processes or capture devices) and redirecting it to one or more sinks (sound cards, remote network PulseAudio servers, or other processes).

the part I find interesting is that PulseAudio is a multi-OS driver that supports a sound server. One of the limitations of Dom3 is that certain things cannot be handled or modded for the server side of the game. Users must have copies of things that would be an advantage if they didnt have to have.
Just a stray thought....
