Fixed bug #1011 Daniel Ellis 2010-06-25 15:20:31 PDT SDL based applications sometimes display the wrong application name in the Sound Preferences dialog when using pulseaudio. I can see from the code that the SDL pulse module is initiating a new pulse audio context and passing an application name using the function get_progname(). The get_progname() function returns the name of the current process. However, the process name is often not a suitable name to use. For example, the OpenShot video editor is a python application, and so "python" is displayed in the Sound Preferences window (see Bug #596504), when it should be displaying "OpenShot". PulseAudio allows applications to specify the application name, either at the time the context is created (as SDL does currently), or by special environment variables (see http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/ApplicationProperties). If no name is specified, then pulseaudio will determine the name based on the process. If you specify the application name when initiating the pulseaudio context, then that will override any application name specified using an environment variable. As libsdl is a library, I believe the solution is for libsdl to not specify any application name when initiating a pulseaudio context, which will enable applications to specify the application name using environment variables. In the case that the applications do not specify anything, pulseaudio will fall back to using the process name anyway. The attached patch removes the get_progname() function and passes NULL as the application name when creating the pulseaudio context, which fixes the issue.

/* This SPE API basically provides 3 ways to run and control a program
 * on the SPE:
 * - Start and stop the program (keepalive=0).
 *   SPE_Start() will implicitly boot up the program, create a thread and run
 *   the context.
 *   SPE_Stop() will join the (terminated) thread (may block) and return.
 * - Boot the program and run it (keepalive=0).
 *   SPE_Boot() will create a context and load the program and finally start
 *   the context with SPE_Start().
 *   SPE_Stop() will savely end the program.
 * - Boot, Run and send messages to the program (keepalive=1).
 *   Start the program by using one of the methods described above. When
 *   received the READY-message the program is in its infinite loop waiting
 *   for new messages.
 *   Every time you run the program, send SPU_START and the address of the
 *   according struct using SPE_SendMsg().
 *   SPE_WaitForMsg() will than wait for SPU_FIN and is blocking.
 *   SPE_Shutdown() sends SPU_EXIT and finally stops the program.
 *
 * Therefor the SPE program
 * - either runs once and returns
 * - or runs in an infinite loop and is controlled by messages.
