I did patch xinelib and run a stress test for about 2 hours now, using various sound applications at the same time. The patch Pacho pasted works like a charm.
Also autodetection works properly, if pulseaudio blocks access for alsa xine will automagically fallback to pulseaudio (i.e. the user will not see any error or something in case pulse blocks the audio device). I attached a debdiff re-enabling pulseaudio in xine and applying the patch in question. ** Also affects: xine-lib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: xine-lib (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Critical Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: xine-lib (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Attachment added: "xine-lib_1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13381361/xine-lib_1.1.11.1-1ubuntu3.debdiff -- amarok does not work with pulseaudio [hardy] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176332 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
