Status report 2011-11-11 (diwic):
* Finally unblocked as we have a client API proposal for PulseAudio: http://
* A preliminary okay on IRC for backporting the new jack detection kernel API into the Precise kernel, so this is the working theory.
2011-12-05 (ronoc):
* Sound settings redesign in progress (Christian Giordiano)
* Sound settings internal reworking to accommodate new design underway (ronoc)
2012-01-30 (ronoc):
* Control centre back-end work nearing completion.
* Patched pulse and kernel have landed in precise's main, provided regressions are not too serious we intend to put out the patched control centre this week (w/end feb 3).
2012-02-29 (ronoc)
* Redesigned sound settings shipped, now on the bug front.
2012-03-26 (diwic)
* I believe we can call this implemented by now, even though there might still be a few edge cases or bugs to sort out. Also, all of the jack detection and client API patches have been merged by upstream PulseAudio. Upstreaming of the new UI is deferred until the next upstream version of PulseAudio has been released.
