Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources The sound is played just for half a second or so. What log files are useful? I have a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
... using KDE4 right? So I've changed the product from "arts" to "phonon".
It happens to me too using trunk.
I can confirm the issue as well. Phonon in general has no problem with the soundfile so I'm assuming a bug in knotify. When does NotifyBySound::close(int id) get called? The first sound that gets played initializes the Backend and creates the first stream, so the delay from that might be the reason that a call to close stops the sound?
I can confirm this too.
I can confirm this on FreeBSD with KDE 4.1.0 as well. It seems rather hit-n-miss here, sometimes the music is cut off immediately, or sometimes a bit later in the clip. However, it does cut it off at some point.
I can confirm this as well. (kde trunk version, at the moment the date is 16/10/2008) Sometimes it plays longer than others, but never complete.
