Xoscope package lacks pulseaudio-esound-compat as dependency

[Angelo Compagnucci]

pulseaudio-esound-compat package is required to make Xoscope working out-of-the-box, without launching it with padsp.
pulseaudio-esound-compat should be a dependency of Xoscope.

[Angelo Compagnucci (angeloc)]

[Impact]
The bug prevents correct execution of Xoscope if package pulseaudio-esound-compat is not manually installed

[Development Fix]
Added pulseaudio-esound-compat to depends in debian/control

[Stable Fix]
Added pulseaudio-esound-compat to depends in debian/control, patch attached

[Test Case]
1) Open Xoscope when pulseaudio-esound-compat is NOT installed
2) Xoscope shows the error: "Error opening ESoundD Socket operation on non socket"
3) Install package pulseaudio-esound-compat
4) kill and restart pulseaudio to reload modules with pulseaudio -k
5) Open Xoscope
6) Xoscope is now working

[Regression Potential]
No regression potential because the new dependency installs a package normally distributed and user installable.

Hello Angelo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xoscope into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Angelo Compagnucci (angeloc)]

Verified the package in precise with:

1) apt-get install xoscope
2) apt says:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  pulseaudio-esound-compat xoscope

So bug it's fixed and works, verification done.

I installed xoscope on ubuntu 14.4. and discovered that this bug is not fully fixed.

xoscope only works after a reboot or a manual restart of pulseaudio by issueing the command "pulseaudio -k".

suggested fix:
add a post-installation action to restart pulseaudio automatically. Add the file DEBIAN/postinst to the package:

#!/bin/sh
pulseaudio -k
