SUMMARY Nowadays, my USB headphones I use for VoIP calls (work and personal) are plugged into my desktop computer 100% of the time. It would be GREAT for some apps like KAlarm to be able to select the output device in the case I'm away from my computer I can still hear the notification. KAlarm does not show under the Applications list in the general sound configuration. Not even while playing a sound. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think this applies to a lot of people not only with the "pandemic" but also now there are more and more people using softphones/voip.
To help me find out how to make KAlarm show in the applications list in the sound configuration settings, can you please give an example of an application which can appear there. On my system, I don't see any applications listed.
Keeping a note here to help in coding this feature in future: A list of audio devices is given by Phonon::BackendCapabilities::availableAudioOutputDevices(). I've still to find out how KAlarm could be added to System Settings sound configuration.
