[Javier Jardón]

Since 0.10.16 (already in karmic ) gstreamer0.10-plugins-good can use gudev instead HAL

looking to the change it seems it's not used instead but used in addition of rather, ie it's only an extra build-depends

From poking around in the gst-plugins-good tree, it looks like the HAL dependency comes down to the GstHalAudioSink and GstHalAudioSrc elements. So is it just a case of passing a configure switch to not build them or are gudev analogs required?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the upstream option is specific to the video device detection and not for audiosink use there...

[Thomas E Jenkins (thomas-jenkins)]

Right, but the original code the gudev-using version replaces doesn't seem to have any hal dependencies. It's hard coded to just check "/dev/video" and "/dev/v4l2/video" and doesn't seem to use the hal enumerate device functions. But perhaps I'm missing the larger picture. So for the larger HALsectomy question the only dependency left in gst-plugins-good is for the two elements.

The dependency was dropped in the sync with Debian in 0.10.17.3-1ubuntu1.
