Try running mplayer in a terminal. (mplayer name-of-video-file.avi) You'll see it attempts to use pulse, then falls back to alsa when that fails. On my system there is no audio. I can get mplayer to work by specifying the full hw:1,0 alsa card name instead of relying on defaults. However when doing this, I get a popup from phonon saying the audio card doesn't work and then phonon produces no sound ever again. This is definitely significantly less functional than it was under karmic.

Daniel: this bug IS a kitten killer. I cannot get sound from two applications at the same time! The thing is, it worked in Karmic with pulse (obviously), but it also worked before with just ALSA!

[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
I've updated and I don't think the build changes have fixed the problem. I base this on two observations: According to the upstream bug, libphonon.so.4.4.0 should be linked against libpulse and libpulse-mainloop-glib, but ldd libphonon.so.4.4.0 shows that it is not. (If I run the same command on the libphonon taken from either Mandriva or Fedora, I see that it is linked against the correct libraries). Secondly, I downloaded the source for the backends (apt-get source) and did a build. The build prints a list of features it has found - Pulseaudio is not amongst them, and neither HAVE_PULSEAUDIO nor HAVE_PULSEAUDIO_DEVICE_MANAGER are specified on the command line during the build. I did a nasty hack to the CMakeLists.txt (as I described in comment #12) and this appeared to fix this problem - but I still don't get full Pulseadio support in phonon, probably because the same build problem is still affecting phonon (and I haven't figured out a rebuild hack for that).

To further confirm this, I have copied libphonon.so.4.4.0 from my Mandriva install on to my Kubutnu install and retained my rebuilt xine backend. Pulseaudio support in phonon is now working more or less correctly: kcm-phonon shows Pulseaudio output devices instead of ALSA devices Playing back audio through Amarok shows that ALSA plugin is not being used.

There are still 2 problems I think. According to the upstream bug, yes the backends need to be rebuilt.

[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
Thanks for continuing to look at this problem. Two versions of phonon does seem like a recipe for disaster. Let's hope upstream can sort that out. As far as this specific issue goes, I've done some investigation - I'm not too clued up on cmake or debian packaging but I figured this would be worth posting in case any of it helps. All of this is based on working with apt-get source qt4-x11 and running dpkg-buildpackage. Once the source has been patched, in src/3rdparty/phonon/phonon/CMakeLists.txt, there is a check using macro_optional_find_package(PulseAudio), and one using macro_optional_find_package(GLIB2). However, nowhere on my system is there a FindPulseAudio.cmake or a FindGLIB2.cmake, and I can't find a package that installs them. They are not present in the source. The strange thing is, that with the lack of those two cmake files I would expect cmake to print a warning that they couldn't be found. But it doesn't. It's almost as if that particular CMakeLists.txt is simply being ignored. I found the same issue with the source for the phonon backends. That source does include the two 'missing' cmake files, and they are supposed to be called by the macros in the phonon/CMakeLists.txt file. But again, they never are. Only by hacking those macro_optional_find_package() checks into the CMakeLists.txt at the root level of the source tree could I get them to run, and when I did that I finally saw -DHAVE_PULSEAUDIO and -DHAVE_PULSEAUDIO_DEVICE_MANAGER being part of the command lines issued to make. -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The problem is therefore most definitely in your packages. ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
As a further demonstration, I have another machine where I have been using the JACK backend for phonon (I have Xine packages with JACK support installed). This was working perfectly until the recent phonon upgrade. I am still presented with an option to use 'Jack Audio Connection Kit', which is selected - but phonon now ignores that and just tries to use ALSA instead. I mention this as it demonstrates that perhaps this bug should be called 'Phonon ignores non-ALSA outputs' or something like that. If I boot into the Beta of Mandriva 2010.1 on the same machine, using the same version of KDE, phonon does work with JACK (and indeed with Pulseaudio) so again, this is not an upstream bug. -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
We have the latest patches along with the latest stable phonon backends. If this is a bug, it's probably an upstream regression. ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi there! Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging. Thanks! ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
I can confirm this. Before 4.4.2, Phonon's backends used Pulseaudio seamlessly. For some reason, Pulse's device was replaced with ESD on my system after the upgrade to 4.4.2, and the new PA device actually routes through alsa and has obvious latency issues. -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
This change in behavior is actually caused by the Phonon patches. Pulse support is built in to each backend itself, so you can use any backend with PA seamlessly. The only patches that we don't have are the KMix ones, because they are quite invasive and introduce a lot of new strings that we don't have the manpower to translate at this time. ** Changed in: phonon (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 557514] Re: [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken
Thanks for the answer but I don't really understand what you are saying. You say I can use any backend 'seamlessly', but the Xine backend under Lucid is not using Pulse 'seamlessly', it is using an ALSA output and routing that to Pulse using the ALSA-pulse plugin. I still see all my ALSA devices under system settings, which is completely different behaviour from that which occurs under mandriva, for example. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this very well, but it does not work the same way as it does under Mandriva for example - KMix patches notwithstanding. If I run pavucontrol, I see that all the audio output from phonon applications is coming through the ALSA plugin, not native pulseaudio. -- [Lucid] Phonon pulseaudio support is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
