Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.22-2 Severity: normal KDE doesn't recognize that Pulseaudio is running and talks directly to ALSA (the phonon device list shows the alsa devices, as does kmix).
I tried the PA packages from Ubuntu (1:0.9.22-0ubuntu3) and KDE correctly switches to pulseaudio using those packages. So I looked into the differences between the Debian/Ubuntu packages and found that using the build-dependencies from the Ubuntu package but everything else from the Debian package (and building that in a clean chroot) KDE uses PA from the start. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (102, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-rc6-00038-g506502d (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pulseaudio depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.4.3-2 framework for defining and trackin ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.0-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libice6 2:1.0.7-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libltdl7 2.2.6b-2 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libpulse0 0.9.22-2 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsamplerate0 0.1.7-3 Audio sample rate conversion libra ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-1 X11 Session Management library ii libsndfile1 1.0.23-1 Library for reading/writing audio ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex extended runtime library ii libtdb1 1.2.7+git20101021-1 Trivial Database - shared library ii libudev0 164-3 libudev shared library ii libwrap0 7.6.q-19 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.3.3-4 Xlib/XCB interface library ii libxcb-atom1 0.3.6-1 utility libraries for X C Binding ii libxcb1 1.7-1 X C Binding ii libxtst6 2:1.2.0-1 X11 Testing -- Record extension li ii lsb-base 3.2-26 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages pulseaudio recommends: pn gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio <none> (no description available) ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.23-1+b1 ALSA library additional plugins pn pulseaudio-esound-compat <none> (no description available) ii pulseaudio-module-x11 0.9.22-2 X11 module for PulseAudio sound se Versions of packages pulseaudio suggests: pn paman <none> (no description available) pn paprefs <none> (no description available) ii pavucontrol 0.9.9-1 PulseAudio Volume Control pn pavumeter <none> (no description available) ii pulseaudio-utils 0.9.22-2 Command line tools for the PulseAu ii rtkit 0.9-2 Realtime Policy and Watchdog Daemo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
