Indeed and I'll probably need a little help from you to try and reproduce it on my system. >How else can I help you to find the problem? Since I want to reproduce the problem on my system, I need to learn how to make a pulseaudio-free installation, so that I can have a system similar to yours (my system has the full XFCE stack installed and it brings pulseaudio by default, I think). So... When and if you can spare some time, could you please tell me what you use on your system? Did you install with debootstrap, netinst? Which window manager (so I don't get pulseaudio unintentionally)? Which audio related packages you installed (gstreamer*, *alsa*)? Any other packages you believe I should pay attention to? Please feel free to ignore my request if you don't wish to give that many details about your computer (I honestly don't know if my request is intrusive, hehehe). Cheers, Gabriel

Hello Gabriel, I can also resolve the URL with curl and play it back with the gstreamer framework, but directly in pragha the link extracted with curl is not played back. At least the artist's name, the title played and the channel in the pragha are resolved as text, but unfortunately no music is played. And yes, the volume control in pragha _and_ the system is set to full volume. Small additional information, in audacious I can play any online streaming link immediately with curl, or similar workarounds without any effort. I also got this package from the Debian repository. It would be nice, though, if pragha could also enable problem-free playback of the live streaming sources. How else can I help you to find the problem?

I still do not understand what prevents .m3u URLs (such as the one you want to use) from being played correctly on pragha, but I collected some extra information and I have a workaround for you. First, the workaround: Use curl to display what's in your .m3u URL: $ curl http://media-ice.musicradio.com/ClassicFMMP3.m3u http://media-the.musicradio.com:80/ClassicFMMP3 Then use this URL, instead of the original, to test your gstreamer installation: $ gst-launch-1.0 -v playbin uri=http://media-the.musicradio.com:80/ClassicFMMP3 You can add this link to Pragha and it will work.

Hello Gabriel, Sorry to keep answering so late! I have installed only a ALSA instance (alsa-tools alsa-utils and gstreamer1.0-alsa) on my system. In the Pragha settings I have selected Alsa as my audio system. There is no pulse audio on my system.

Hi, Jürgen Göricke, Have you tried to do what I suggested? (i.e.: Change the "Audio Device" in pragha settings to "hw:1" or "default:1") pgpt6JOT2ujxZ.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

In order to try to reproduce this, I: - Installed gstreamer1.0-alsa; - Killed the pulseaudio daemon; - Selected alsa as the "Audio Sink" on pragha settings. then I got the following error message: Error playing current track () Reason: Could not open audio device for playback. Is this the same error you're seeing? Afterwards, I used "aplay -l" and "aplay -L" to learn what audio devices I had (I'm only listing the outputs related to PCH, since all other outputs are not actually connected to speakers): # aplay -l List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices [...] card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [...] # aplay -L [...] default:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog Default Audio Device [...] hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog Direct hardware device without any conversions hw:CARD=PCH,DEV=1 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Digital Direct hardware device without any conversions [...] (there were other PCH related devices, but too many to list here) With that output, I understood that I also needed to modify the name of the "Audio Device" in pragha settings to "hw:1" or "default:1". Afterwards, audio worked again. Do you think that this could still be going through pulseaudio? (I don't know how to completely get rid of pulseaudio to make more tests. Pulseaudio was automatically installed by xfce, I guess). Maybe you also need to change the "Audio Device" on pragha settings? >It should be possible >to install and use either gstreamer1.0-alsa or >gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio. If what I mentioned above is not enough and there is actually something missing in the build of pragha, I think I'll need some help to fix it. Do you know how to do it?

Reason: There are still many users of this package who don't want to use Pulseaudio. It should be possible to install and use either gstreamer1.0-alsa or gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio. Since Pragha is one of the few audio players that meets my requirements for a slim audio player, it would be wonderful if users who don't want to use the Pulseaudio could use this player.
