Package: libxine2 Version: 1.2.13-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
version 1.2.11 of xine changed how volume scaling is done: it switched from linear to logaritmic volume scaling. See this commit: https://sourceforge.net/p/xine/xine-lib-1.2/ci/59544d4f4a763bd47a5e8b629e1afc74e0c9a719/ With the release of Bookworm this change made it into stable Debian (Bullseye used version 1.2.10). This change seriously breaks volume control in applications that depend on libxine2. In particular Amarok and Kaffeine shipped by Trinity Desktop Environment (currently not part of official Debian repositories). More specifically it makes lower part of the volume scale to quiet to be usable, while the upper part of volume scale lacks necessary granularity. There is a fix for this in upstream libxine2: https://sourceforge.net/p/xine/xine-lib-1.2/ci/0a32d4509b39181da6553b85e4d35829716d23c7/ Would it be possible to pull latest upstream version of libxine2 into sid so that the TDE team can work on fixing applications that depend on xine? P.S. Library versions listed below point to version of xine released with Bullseye. This is due to downgrade I had to make to work around the bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/24 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libxine2 depends on: ii libxine2-bin 1.2.10-4+b1 ii libxine2-misc-plugins 1.2.10-4+b1 ii libxine2-plugins 1.2.10-4 Versions of packages libxine2 recommends: ii libxine2-ffmpeg 1.2.10-4+b1 Versions of packages libxine2 suggests: pn libxine2-doc <none> pn xine-ui <none> -- no debconf information
