Well, I've the same issue since I did apt-get upgrade about 3 months ago...
Many people
also couldn't get system notifications to work but in some cases removing 2
files - knotify and
a similar one in .kde3 in your home directory (after restart these were
recreated and everything
was fine). But this didn't work for me though... Anyway, I'm still waiting
for a fix to this problem.
I thought that maybe in KDE 3.4 there wouldn't be such problems, but so far
it's still not
working
Best wishes,
Mateusz Linda

Subject: aRts can't play ogg vorbis files since 3.4.0
Ever since I upgraded to the KDE 3.4.0 packages on alioth, aRts has been
unable to play ogg vorbis files. I originally thought this was the issue
with
losing system notifications, but it's a problem with aRts as a whole. WAV
and
MP3 files play just fine.
For example, if I run:
$ artsplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.ogg
the command returns, but no sound is played.
Any app which uses aRts is affected. I can't play ogg files in noatun,
amarok,
kaboodle, and so on. They play fine in XMMS.
It's not my settings, unless the defaults are broken. I created a test
user
and logged in as them- exact same problem. I also jacked aRts' verbosity
all
the way up and started it from Konsole. It spit this out when I issued the
artsplay command:
-- snip --
UnixManager: got notifyIO
socketconnection created, fd = 9
search playobject, extension = ogg
creating OGGPlayObject to play file
/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.ogg
outputStream created
OGGPlayObject_impl
loadMedia
OGGPlayObject_impl::getPlugin
DecoderBaseObject_impl::streamStart
play: 1
nukePlugin _STREAM_STATE_WAIT_FOR_END
xrun!!
xrun!!
(The previous message was repeated 1 times.)
-- snip --
These are the arts/ogg packages I have installed:
libarts1 1.4.1-1
libartsc0 1.4.1-1
libarts1-mpeglib 4:3.4.1-1
libarts1-audiofile 4:3.4.1-1
libogg0 1.1.2-1
libvorbis0a 1.1.0-1
libvorbisfile3 1.1.0-1
libvorbisenc2 1.1.0-1
They're all the most up-to-date, and aside from the aRts packages, are
stock
sarge. I have tried purging all these packages (with --force-depends) and
reinstalling, to no avail.
I have also twiddled with every option in the Sound System control panel,
disabling each feature one-by-one. It still fails.
But here's where things get truly weird. If I decode the ogg file to WAV,
aRts
plays it fine. If I reencode it to MP3, it fails in exactly the same way
as
the original ogg. MP3s which I have ripped from my CDs play fine. Oggs
ripped
from CD do not play.
So, the summary is:
- Wavs play fine all the time
- Oggs do not play at all
- MP3s play, unless they're short sound-bites like the system
notifications
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm completely stumped, so any
suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
