[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Phonon + PulseAudio Problem

2010-05-23 Thread Fabian Köster

 When I play some Video with a Non-KDE application like VLC everything is
 perfectly directed to the local PulseAudio running on my machine and i have
 the expected sound-output.
 
 But when I use a KDE-Application like Kaffeine or Amarok there is no sound
 output although the stream is listed by pavucontrol. The volume-indicator
 for the stream does not show any activity.

I asked on pulseaudio-discuss and they could help me: It is a bug in Phonon 
4.4.1 and the two patches mentioned in the post by Colin Guthrie [1] solve the 
problem for me.

I also filed a bug report in Gentoo about this issue [2].

Finally KDE + PulseAudio rock! Despite the huge amount of criticism of 
PulseAudio on this list it really works good for me and I am quite happy :)

btw: KDE PulseAudio-integration is also becoming better from a usability 
standpoint in the future: [3]

Fabian

Maybe you should just do it and stop making noise:

 Give this a read http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Network

Looks interesting and much more simple than PulseAudio ;)

Thanks!

 I think pulse is a very long answer to a very short question and so I did
 away with it months ago.  And I haven't regretted it.
 
 Truly, I think very few people need pulse outside of professionals who work
 in film or music.  The main reason others have disagreed with my opinion is
 because your silly desktop sounds like beeps and boings and toilets
 flushing interrupt the CD you're listening to.  Uh, well, yeah, one sound
 generally interrupts another, true.  So what?
 
 I'll bet your audio would do what you expect it to do if you just removed
 every trace of pulse from your machine and run revdep-rebuild with the
 pulse, arts, and esd useflags disabled (if those flags still exist).
 
 Contrary opinions will follow shortly ;)

ok.. the reason why I use PulseAudio at all is because I need sound forwarding 
over network. I have an IGEPv2 board which is connected using USB-sound to my 
amplifier. This works fine by the way, but not using KDE applications..

[gentoo-user] Phonon + PulseAudio Problem

2010-05-19 Thread Fabian Köster
Hi *,

I am currently trying to use Phonon and PulseAudio and have the following 
problem:

When I play some Video with a Non-KDE application like VLC everything is 
perfectly directed to the local PulseAudio running on my machine and i have 
the expected sound-output.

But when I use a KDE-Application like Kaffeine or Amarok there is no sound 
output although the stream is listed by pavucontrol. The volume-indicator for 
the stream does not show any activity.

Does anybody have an idea what is causing this misbehavior? Or any hint on 
debugging this? When I run pulseaudio -vvv I cannot see any suspicious output 
(see below)

Thanks in advance,
Fabian

Re: [gentoo-user] SOLVED: xinerama USE-flag needed for KDE 4.1 and xrandr?

2008-10-23 Thread Fabian Köster
 Yes you have to use the xinerama use flag.

That works in deed, I have now KDE 4.1 Desktop with Multi-Monitor Support!

Thank you, Paul!

[gentoo-user] xinerama USE-flag needed for KDE 4.1 and xrandr?

2008-10-21 Thread Fabian Köster
Hi everybody,

I would like to setup a dual-head desktop using X.org 7.4 and KDE 4.1.2.

I successfully achieved to configure my dual-head setup using xrandr.

Basically it looks like this:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of LVDS 

The VGA-0 screen's resolution is 1680x1050, the notebook-display is 1400x1050.

As said before this works fine but KDE 4.1.2 treats the two screens as one 
single screen so the panel is centered in the middle of the overall-desktop 
and windows maximize over both screens. (See screenshot 
http://koesterreich.de/gentoo/screenshots/big-desktop.png)

The desired behavior is that the panel is just on one screen (optionally more 
panels on the second) and the windows only maximize on the screen they are 
currently located.

Do I have to compile KDE (and maybe other packages) using the 'xinerama' USE-
flag? In that case I would say this is confusing because I think that xinerama 
is deprecated and I would suggest to rename it to something like multi-head.

If it is of interest: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and addressed by the 
'radeon' driver.

Regards,
Fabian
