Release notes for 7.0: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/7.0/ Release notes for 8.0: https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/8.0/ 7.0 added support for soxr resamplers, but neither oe-core nor meta-oe have libsoxr packaged. The default resampler is still speexdsp based, so most people wouldn't be using the soxr resamplers anyway. If someone cares enough to package soxr, then we can enable the feature. Bash completions moved in 7.0 from /etc to the standard location under /usr/share/bash-completion. We now use the bash-completion class to package the completion files. The private library libpulsecore moved from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/pulseaudio. The new routing features advertised in the 8.0 release notes are reverted for now, because they caused regressions. I'll remove the revert once a proper fix is available. Removed two patches, because they are included in the new release. Rebased three patches. Updated Upstream-Status tags to reflect the current situation.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
