Package: kde-runtime
Version: 4:4.8.4-2
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
On a setup with NFS-shared home directories, KDE will complain about allegedly
removed sound devices if a user logs into a machine with a different hardware
setup.
This is due to Phonon remembering the hardware setup in
~/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc and not honoring a global
/etc/kde4/phonondevicesrc.
The attached patch (which we've been using for ages) makes Phonon load a global
phonondevicesrc.
You can then, on every machine, install a /etc/kde4/phonondevicesrc listing all
that machine's devices (and even assign suitable preferences to them) so the
user's ~/.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc remains essentially empty. Then KDE
stops notifying about hardware configuration changes because it will only ever
use the machine's configuration plus an empty user's one.
See, for example, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218533, for an upstream
report.
