ALURE is a utility library to help manage common tasks with OpenAL
applications. This includes device enumeration and initialization, file
loading, and streaming.
The purpose of this library is to provide pre-made functionality that would
otherwise be repetitive or difficult to (re)code for various projects and
platforms, such as loading a sound file into an OpenAL buffer and streaming an
audio file through a buffer queue. Support for different formats is consistant
across platforms, so no special checks are needed when loading files, and all
formats are handled through the same API.

PulseAudio 12.2
The previous release tarball contained a broken configure script, this release
fixes the tarball. There are no changes in the source, except for this NEWS
file update.
PulseAudio 12.1
A bug fix release.
* Fixed crash when switching to A2DP bluetooth profile
* Fixed plugin search path in module-ladspa-sink
* Fixed file permissions for the pipes created by module-pipe-sink and
module-pipe-source
1.4.7:
This new release includes lots of new features in the importer and the
metadata source backends that it uses.
We've changed how the beets importer handles non-audio tracks listed in
metadata sources like MusicBrainz:
* The importer now ignores non-audio tracks (namely, data and video tracks)
listed in MusicBrainz. Also, a new option, :ref:ignore_video_tracks, lets
you return to the old behavior and include these video tracks.
* A new importer option, :ref:ignored_media, can let you skip certain media
formats.
There are other subtle improvements to metadata handling in the importer:
* In the MusicBrainz backend, beets now imports the
musicbrainz_releasetrackid field. This is a first step toward
* A new importer configuration option, :ref:artist_credit, will tell beets
to prefer the artist credit over the artist when autotagging.
And there are even more new features:
* :doc:/plugins/replaygain: The beet replaygain command now has
--force, --write and --nowrite options.
* A new importer configuration option, :ref:incremental_skip_later, lets you
avoid recording skipped directories to the list of "processed" directories
in :ref:incremental mode. This way, you can revisit them later with
another import.
* :doc:/plugins/fetchart: The configuration options now support
finer-grained control via the sources option. You can now specify the
search order for different *matching strategies* within different backends.
* :doc:/plugins/web: A new cors_supports_credentials configuration
option lets in-browser clients communicate with the server even when it is
protected by an authorization mechanism (a proxy with HTTP authentication
enabled, for example).
* A new :doc:/plugins/sonosupdate plugin automatically notifies Sonos
controllers to update the music library when the beets library changes.
* :doc:/plugins/discogs: The plugin now stores master release IDs into
mb_releasegroupid. It also "simulates" track IDs using the release ID
and the track list position.
* :doc:/plugins/discogs: Fetch the original year from master releases.
There are lots and lots of fixes

Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
