Bug 102078 – [GTK] Use GResources in AudioBusGtk

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Philippe Normand]

It'd be nice to simplify AudioBusGtk to use GResources, getting rid of the env var for uninstalled use-case too.

Looking into this.

If I understand correctly the only use csae is to make audio resources
easy to load when we run things from the compilation directory, is
that right?

If that's the case maybe we can come up with a different solution that
doesn't involve increasing the size of the library that much
(Composite.wav is 240K)

As discussed on Jabber, yes.

Let's close this then

Then one possibility could be to assume that things are being run from
inside the WebKit directory and if the files are not available in the
system path we can try to find them in

Source/WebCore/platform/audio/resources
../Source/WebCore/platform/audio/resources
../../Source/WebCore/platform/audio/resources

etc.

That should be easy to do, but I'm not sure if you like the idea.
