Yeah, we really need a page on -devel. I was somewhat reluctant in the
past not to have every user just switch to -devel and then complain wen
the system breaks. :-)

You need to add this line to apt:

    deb https://maedevu.maemo.org/leste beowulf-devel main contrib non-free

Our recently posted update contains some of the audio work I was doing,
which I think should help a lot on the N900 (if you didn't see the
update yet, it's worth the read - I think I forgot to mail this list
with the update):

https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-leste-fifteenth-update-januari-october-2021.html#audio-support

But it's not complete yet. There's a bunch to figure out (how
Nemo/Sailfish/Mer) does this.

By the way, the latest Droid4 kernel in -devel also has the headphone
patches from uvos, in combination with a change to pulseaudio system.pa
it now changed audio output automatically on plug and unplug. Add this
to system.pa:

load-module module-switch-on-port-available

Later on we will probably stop using the above module in favour of all
the ohmd and other complex stuff.

Cheers,
