Bug Description

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

In order for Phonon to properly use PulseAudio, start-pulseaudio-kde needs to be run. However, the Ubuntu pulseaudio package does not include this script. It appears that the we just need to add "usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-kde" to debian/pulseaudio.install.

Confirming. I think you also need to add /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop

fixed debian/pulseaudio.install Edit (3.0 KiB, text/plain)

I have attached a modified version debian/pulseaudio.install from pulseaudio-0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478. I will test for correct behavior shortly.

My changes to debian/pulseaudio.install seem to have had the desired effect. module-device-manager is automatically loaded with the proper argument, and it appears that start-pulseaudio-kde will only be run under KDE.

Why is this marked wishlist if it's causing PulseAudio to fail in Kubuntu Lucid?

Daniel T Chen (crimsun) wrote on 2010-05-13:

It will already fail nondeterministically in Kubuntu Lucid anyway due to the Phonon mess, and that's a much higher priority bug for Maverick. Because that entails newer major library versions, that's unlikely to ever enter Lucid (though I can't say; I'm not a Kubuntu developer proper) through -updates.

But shouldn't it be trivial to fix this bug (or wish) by adding start-pulseaudio-kde and pushing an updated pulseaudio package to proposed-updates?

An updated Qt/Phonon package might arrive for Lucid via a PPA and then the needed parts in PA would be there already.

I understand that you're not a dev. But anyway, how could this bug be
left unfixed in an LTS release?

This comment on the KDE bug seems to indicate that it's fixable in Arch:

Just adding that the same crashes occured for me on arch using kde 4.4.3 with
the phonon 4.4.1 + gstreamer package + pulse. Pulseaudio setup as in the wiki,
with the pcm.phononpulse added so that pulseaudio would appear in phonon.

However after installing phonon-git from aur, My device list in phonon got
replaced with a lovely set from pulseaudio, complete with my network computers.
Works awesomely, no crashes anymore.

This bug was fixed in the package pulseaudio - 1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu16

---------------
pulseaudio (1:0.9.22~0.9.21+stable-queue-32-g8478-0ubuntu16) maverick; urgency=low

  * Include /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-kde and its autostart file now that KDE
    will be using PulseAudio by default in Maverick (LP: #563250)
  * Also update 0057-load-module-x11-bell.patch to give its improvements to
    /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-kde as well

Patch for the pulseaudio.install script to provide start-pulseaudio-kde autostart scripts. Edit (1.3 KiB, text/plain)

You may also want to get the pre-built packages from my ppa:
ppa:stanislav-ionascu/mullers-ppa

Works best + kde 4.5.0 from Kubuntu backports.
Probably because of this pulseaudio problem, my system had serious audio jittering and freezes when playing flash video or any videos using dragon player (which uses phonon).

Actually "PulseAudio Sound System KDE Routing Policy" is display in gnome-session-properties and I don't think this is the experience expected by final users.

Maybe the xdg file should be put by a separate package that will be install only on KDE environment ? Should I open a new bug for this ?

Hi there,

Whenever I run the start-pulseaudio-kde script my Phonon configuration page (System Settings --> Multimedia --> Phonon) only shows an Internal Analog Stereo device instead of PulseAudio sound server for output devices.

As Maverick should work integrated with phonon this behavior is undesirable.

I think the devices you see in the Phonon KCM are actually the PA devices. I disabled one of them in pavucontrol and now it is disabled in Phonon, too. (Still, the Phonon KCM should offer all the relevant options from pavucontrol but that's another bug/wish.)
