Re: Anybody got Google Meet going on Linux (Fedora) with just ALSA (ie not with PulseAudio)?

Although I am using Fedora I installed OpenSuse's apulse (which should 
be OK I think):

   apulse-0.1.12-lp152.1.3.x86_64.rpm

- now I get:

   "No microphone found"

and for "Speakers", as well as "Default", I now also have:

   "default and only sync"

but neither of those work with the speaker test still.

I see at CLI:

apulse google-chrome-stable
/bin/apulse:10: DeprecationWarning: The SafeConfigParser class has been 
renamed to ConfigParser in Python 3.2. This alias will be removed in 
future versions. Use ConfigParser directly instead.
   conf_parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information
MESA-LOADER: failed to open i915 (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
failed to load driver: i915
MESA-LOADER: failed to open kms_swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
failed to load driver: kms_swrast
MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib64/dri)
failed to load swrast driver

and when I try to test the speakers I get:

[437680:437680:0727/121043.555607:ERROR:gles2_cmd_decoder.cc(3601)] 
ContextResult::kFatalFailure: fail_if_major_perf_caveat + swiftshader

So I guess I could try building apulse from source for Fedora but I 
suspect that is not going to improve things . .

Thanks,

Phil.
