Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libxine-main1
There is no way to make libxine use artsd for its output on dapper. It worked fine in breezy. This affects many KDE multimedia apps. Kaffeine e.g. is practically unusable without this, as the mplayer-output module is not really ready for daily use. Also, newer versions of amaroK (kubuntu.org/packages) lack an artsd-output plugin and rely on libxine for this. Would it be possible to include artsd output in future version of libxine again? The changelog says > xine-lib (1.1.1+ubuntu2-7) dapper; urgency=low > * Stop shipping the arts plugin as it useless > according to upstream and tends to break things. > (Ubuntu: #44462) This is definitely untrue, at least the "useless" part as I explained above.
