Package: swift-im Version: 2.0~beta1+dev47-1 Severity: minor swift-im uses Qt 4.x and would like to play with QSound::play(). By default on a desktop (with windows manager Plasma, that gets you Pulse-Audio) the sound for new messages is not playing.
In Qt4 on Debian I assume that the Network Audio System will be used, which, according to the Qt4 documentation will fail sliently if there is no nasd setup and running. See http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qsound.html#details Qt5 seems to have a reworked system here. So there are several ways to improve the user experience: a) build swift-im with qt5 b) add the nasd as Recommendation (I'm not sure if this work well with other sound applications, and I don't know how to set up nasd properly.) c) disable the configuration option by patch, hmm if there were more detailed messages, maybe the notifation mechanism of Plasma could play sounds instead. d) help upstream (oh, I think you are Debian Maintainer and Upstream. :) ) to use something else to play sounds Thanks for maintaining swift-im in Debian!
