" When unqueuing messages and "sounds while away" is set,
Gaim will play a message receieved for every message
unqueued. If there are a large number of messages, my
SB Audigy tries playing them all and ends up creating a
crackly ugly sound. Friends of mine have complained
about this as well.
This patch fixes that by making sure sounds are
disabled when unqueuing messages. Sounds will be
re-enabled afterwards if necessary.
Something to note is that playing the sounds when
unqueuing messages crashes Gaim on occasion, with about
50% success. After applying this patch, the crashes
stopped. The backtrace isn't particularly
helpful...it's all question marks and valgrind doesn't
say much either. Crash or no crash though, this
eliminates annoying behavior so that is probably more
important.
I originally fixed this for my plugin AutoProfile, but
since they use similar code for queuing messages, it
would be nice if Gaim has it as well :)" --Casey Ho

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs @section Introduction Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and makes duplicate IDs unlikely. @section Format The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows: <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt> The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one of the following: - core - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code. - prpl - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to connect to. - lopl - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl or TCL). - gtk - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32). - gtk-x11 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code. - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code. - qpe - Gaim for Qtopia plugin. The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It @em should be your Gaim website user ID (registered <a href="http://gaim.sourceforge.net/register.php">here</a>). If for some reason you cannot register there (it shouldn't be a problem!), you can use your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field blank. The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like, though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID. The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this. @section plugin-db Plugin Database Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins. Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it must be unique. */ // vim: syntax=c tw=75 et
