SUMMARY

I am developing an application that is using QML Audio for playing sounds. When compiled against org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.11 into flatpak package, sounds play without any issues. With the upgrade to org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.12, sound file does not play. 

While debugging, I can see that sound file is generated and set as a source to QML Audio. However, after a call to Audio play(), no sounds are produced. Also, while hooking to onPlaybackStateChanged of Audio, I see no changes in playback state. The corresponding changes are observed while sound is playing using 5.11 platform.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Pure Maps from Flathub
2. Go to Main menu/Preferences/Testing and hit Test

OBSERVED RESULT

No sound

EXPECTED RESULT

Test sentence pronounced


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Gentoo, used through Flathub 
Qt Version: 5.12

When testing against Qt 5.12 compiled on desktop, without flatpak layer, all works as expected. Here, I compiled Qt 5.12 from the source, installed all dependencies and run the application using Qt 5.12 libraries. 

So, it looks like something went wrong in flatpak platform, not in Qt 5.12 itself.

I have just updated the platform and now all works for me. Not sure what was changed, but this bug is not there anymore. I suggest to close it.
