This bug was fixed in the package libao - 1.1.0-3ubuntu1 --------------- libao (1.1.0-3ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Convert to multiarch. - Switch libao-common to Architecture: all. - Build with dh_autoreconf. * debian/libao.conf: Set the default output to pulseaudio (LP: #1075479) libao (1.1.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Use linux-any instead of negating specific other arches. Closes: #634625 * Regenerate build system files, mostly to pull in a later libtool.m4 which has fixes for building the ppc64le architecture. Closes: #752022 -- Luke Yelavich <them...@ubuntu.com> Thu, 08 Jan 2015 12:55:17 +1100 ** Changed in: libao (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libao in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1075479 Title: libao defaults to ALSA output, should probably use Pulseaudio Status in libao package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When playing sound from an application that uses libao on Ubuntu 12.04 (for example, pianobar), it blocks any other sound-playing application from playing audio (for example, Firefox on YouTube). A little digging showed that /etc/libao.conf sets default_driver=alsa, changing this to default_driver=pulse makes simultaneous audio from multiple programs work perfectly. 1) Ubuntu 12.04 2) libao-common 1.1.0-1ubuntu2 3) Expected audio to play from several apps simultaneously 4) Apps using libao block the sound card so that no one else can play sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libao/+bug/1075479/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
