Bug#598734: kdelibs4c2a: should not depend on libarts1c2a
Package: kdelibs4c2a Version: 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-0lenny3 Severity: normal The majority of KDE packages do not require libarts or the arts sound system. Depending on them is unnecessary for the kdelibs package; if a specific KDE program requires libarts, it should have a separate dependency. libarts1c2a also automatically starts artsd as a system daemon, which is inappropriate for a 'lib' package. Advise as to whether I should file that as a separate bug against libarts1c2a. end result to user: install simple program (i.e kate), find artsd always running. this discourages users interested in control over their own boxes from using KDE packages.

Re: Phonon occasionally working
Hi.
I don't know if it's the same for Squeeze, but unstable KDE packages
depend on Pulseaudio.
I've suffered the same problem recently. It was due to programs using
ALSA (chrome and VirtualBox) mixed with KDE programs using Pulseaudio.
I soved it by forcing ALSA to use Pulseaudio: put the following in
/etc/asound.conf:
8--
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
-8
Hope this helps.

What's the backend for Phonon? When you go into System Settings -
Multimedia, you'll see your Phonon
settings. IIRC for squeeze (ie KDE 4.4.5) it's on the second tab.

Thanks for the help. I've installed pulseaudio edited /etc/asound.conf and
rebooted. Unfortunately sound isn't working ate all now. In vlc and amarok.
Is there something else I can try or are my settings wrong?
# aptitude install pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libasound2-plugins
pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-x11
# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.pulse {

ctl.pulse {

Then you should google the error msg that you get. Another thing you could try is comparing alsamixer's settings when it's working and when it's not. I don't know if there are any specific log files you can check, but maybe someone else knows. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
