Thanks a lot for the comment. In my bug report I was referring to a default installation of Ubuntu. Package hint: vlc (ubuntu) Ubuntu is using Pulse audio by default - so I was suggestion to add a dependency to vlc-plugin-puls for this case (and only this case).
Couldn't the dependency be conditional on the used audio system / desktop system? Something along the lines: if audio-system = pulsaudio then dependency for vlc is vlc-plugin-puls if audio-system = whatever then dependy for vlc is vlc-plugin-whatever >From a users perspective (on Ubuntu) the situation is the following, at the >moment: - it is easy to install vlc via the add/remove application - but vlc is virtually un-usable for playing films/music, right after the installation - there is no hint that additional action is required (I really thought that vlc has bad sound, at the first moment) I am not a developer of any kind and therefore I don't know what would be the best way to fix this bad user-experience. -- vlc has crackling sound after standard installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341819 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
