Kubuntu is using pulseaudio now, isn't that correct?

[Bug 203158] Re: libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives
This seems to have been fixed by making ubuntu-desktop depend on both libsdl1.2debian _and_ libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio. libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio conflicts with all other variants, including libsdl1.2debian-all. So now, Ubuntu users cannot swap in any of the other flavors without breaking the master ubuntu-desktop package. I know that doesn't remove anything; but as the ubuntu-desktop package description says, it is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed. I _do_ want my system to follow the general flow of Ubuntu configuration changes. There are two compelling reasons to be able to swap in other versions of this library: - For debugging/troubleshooting sound issues. It can help an end user troubleshoot or work around problems with a particular app; or general system sound problems. An app developer might also want to check behavior with different sound back-ends. - To use different SDL _graphics_ back-ends. libsdl1.2debian-all is documented as: compiled with X11, aalib and ggi graphics drivers and oss, esound, alsa, nas and pulseaudio sound drivers. It doesn't just have extra audio, but also extra video support. (The all build I grabbed doesn't actually have GGI or svgalib enabled; GGI explicitly disabled in debian/rules, SVGA looks like the build machine didn't have the right stuff installed.) Can't .deb dependencies express If libsdl is needed, install -pulseaudio by default; ubuntu-desktop depends on either -pulseaudio or -all? Then users would have the ability to change it without pulling out the master ubuntu-desktop package. Since -all can be retargeted with SDL_AUDIODRIVER and SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variables, it should be sufficient to allow those two. Limiting to just -pulseaudio is, well, rather sharply limiting... -- libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 203158] Re: libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives
mattrenfer, I've had some success with the ATI proprietary drivers so I think it would be worth a try for you. It appears your particular card only has legacy support so if the driver doesn't work very well for you you'd better go back to the open source one because there will not be any updates/upgrades. The driver should appear in System/Administrative/Hardware Drivers (if not then it can be downloaded here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx Search the Ubuntu wiki for installation instructions). -- libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That sounds like the right driver and that is the how to I used.

@Daniel T Chen Okay, I will try that since trying to do it in Karmic seems to be going nowhere. @Savvas Radevic The default sample rate in TeeWorlds is already 48000.

I can exit from TeeWorlds, which is a plus. But I cannot hear sound at all now in TeeWorlds. TeeWorlds has a packaging problem in Lucid, for which I've sent a patch but it wasn't (yet?) integrated: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/teeworlds/+bug/521633 Try starting with the live cd again, then running sudo gedit /usr/games/teeworlds and modifying BASE_PATH=/usr/share/games/teeworlds to BASE_PATH=/usr/share/games/teeworlds/data in order for the sound to work. About your low framerates, they should be related to the graphics driver (e.g. if you have nvidia, you'd need to install the proprietary drivers after the Lucid installation on your hard drive). -- libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio should be seeded by default in pulse-enabled derivatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
