Package: orca Version: 3.30.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I was trying to triage another bug by using orca inside a minimal Buster amd64 qemu VM.
On that minimal system I installed just: apt install systemd-coredump xserver-xorg sddm plasma-desktop orca When I tried to start orca in that system I received this error: benutzer@debian:~$ GST_DEBUG=2 orca 0:00:00.040783971 1024 0x1c45120 WARN GST_ELEMENT_FACTORY gstelementfactory.c:456:gst_element_factory_make: no such element factory "autoaudiosink"! Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/orca", line 44, in <module> from orca import orca File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/orca.py", line 81, in <module> from . import sound File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/sound.py", line 163, in <module> _player = Player() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/sound.py", line 55, in __init__ self.init() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/orca/sound.py", line 123, in init self._pipeline.add(self._sink) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Gst.py", line 64, in add if not Gst.Bin.add(self, arg): TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value sound.py:123 self._sink = Gst.ElementFactory.make('autoaudiosink', 'output') Unfortunately this "autoaudiosink" seems to be contained in libgstautodetect.so which is included in package gstreamer1.0-plugins-good. After installing gstreamer1.0-plugins-good orca could be started and also gives audio output. Would this qualify for a change to orca to suggest or depend on package gstreamer1.0-plugins-good?
