Package: vlc Version: 2.2.1-2+b1 Severity: important VLC suddenly is no longer able to play audio on systems that don't have pulseaudio installed. When I run it on an mp3 file, it prints on stdout,
PulseAudio server connection failure and then just sits there doing nothing. Clicking the play button does nothing. It also won't exit: clicking the windowmanager dismiss button sometimes makes the window go away, sometimes not, but either way it doesn't return control to the terminal where I started it. A few ctrl-Cs will sometimes kill it, but often I have to use kill -9 from another terminal. If vlc requires pulseaudio, it should have that in the dependencies. But I've been using vlc for years and it never needed pulse before. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-4 ii libaa1 1.4p5-43 ii libavcodec56 6:11.4-2 ii libavutil54 6:11.4-2 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta19-2 ii libcairo2 1.14.2-2 ii libegl1-mesa [libegl1-x11] 10.5.8-1 ii libfreerdp-client1.1 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-4 ii libfreerdp-core1.1 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-4 ii libfreerdp-gdi1.1 1.1.0~git20140921.1.440916e+dfsg1-4 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-4 ii libfribidi0 0.19.6-3 ii libgcc1 1:5.1.1-12 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 10.5.8-1 ii libgles1-mesa [libgles1] 10.5.8-1 ii libgles2-mesa [libgles2] 10.5.8-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.44.1-1.1 ii libpulse0 6.0-2 ii libqt5core5a 5.4.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5gui5 5.4.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5widgets5 5.4.2+dfsg-4 ii libqt5x11extras5 5.4.2-2 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.9-2 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-5+b5 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-11 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-12 ii libva-drm1 1.5.1-2 ii libva-x11-1 1.5.1-2 ii libva1 1.5.1-2 ii libvlccore8 2.2.1-2+b1 ii libvncclient1 0.9.10+dfsg-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxcb-composite0 1.10-3+b1 ii libxcb-keysyms1 0.4.0-1 ii libxcb-randr0 1.10-3+b1 ii libxcb-shm0 1.10-3+b1 ii libxcb-xv0 1.10-3+b1 ii libxcb1 1.10-3+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.11-1+b1 ii vlc-nox 2.2.1-2+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages vlc recommends: pn vlc-plugin-notify <none> pn vlc-plugin-samba <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4 Versions of packages vlc suggests: pn videolan-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
