Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux With latest kde 4.5 upgrade, phonon with xine seems to be broken. Phonon gstreamer seems to work fine. In sound and audio configuration, Pulse Audio Server is correctly listed as an output device, But Testing it produces no sound, however same works if I chose gstreamer as my phonon backend. This is from latest maverick kubuntu packages at following versions. ii libphonon4 4:4.7.0really4.4.1-0ubuntu3 ii phonon 4:4.7.0really4.4.1-0ubuntu3 ii phonon-backend-gstreamer 4:4.7.0really4.4.1-0ubuntu3 ii phonon-backend-xine 4:4.7.0really4.4.1-0ubuntu3 ii libxine1 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-all-plugins 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-bin 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-console 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-ffmpeg 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-gnome 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-misc-plugins 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii libxine1-x 1.1.17-1ubuntu4 ii xine-plugin 1.0.2-1ubuntu2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Using xine as backend, produces no sound
If this was not clear - This is on KDE 4.4.80 (KDE 4.5 Beta 1)
Same here on Exherbo Linux, but it happened when I upgraded KDE from SC 4.4.2 to 4.4.3. The xine backend no longer produces audio in my Phonon-consuming applications (Amarok, Bangarang, Dragon Player, and the "Test" button in System Settings --> Multimedia). Phonon's GStreamer backend continues to work fine. I've been using Phonon 4.4.1 and PulseAudio 0.9.21 since before and after the offending KDE SC upgrade. I did try rebuilding the entire ALSA/Phonon/PulseAudio/kdebase-runtime/kdemultimedia stack but had no luck getting anything out of the xine backend. Exherbo's KDE packages are pretty vanilla and in the ones potentially involved here we don't seem to be doing anything different from what KDE officially ships. I would have reported this on bug 236901 but it's marked a dupe of bug 236662 which is supposedly an OpenSUSE-specific problem.
Fixed with 4:4.7.0really4.4.2-0ubuntu1 packages. Thanks!
