--- Comment #5 from Lukas Sabota <lu...@lwsabota.com> --- (continued) However - for some reason when i am using the phonon-gstreamer backend, I do not hear any notification sound when the KMessageBox dialogs are raised and the KMessageBox also hangs the application. It seems that whatever is trying to play the notification sound is getting hung up. I would hope that if the phonon backend is not able to play a sound that instead of crashing the application, it would just not play the sound so the application could continue running. I will be using Phonon-VLC as my preferred phonon as a workaround to this issue - however I would like to get the bottom of the gstreamer issue to prevent a sound backend problem from crashing kde applications Again - I apologize for all of the noise on this issue - but this has been a very serious issue in my use-case and I would really like to get it resolved so no one has to deal with this headache -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
