Public bug reported: If you go to "Configure Local Sound Server", and set "Enable network access to local sound devices" and "Make discoverable network sound devices available locally" then when you go to the Default Source or Default Sink menus you get a nice list of local devices, e.g. :-
joh...@liberator: Nvidia CK804 - Nvidia CK804 joh...@liberator: Audigy 4 [SB0610] - ADC Capture/Standard PCM Normally, you just get "Default" and "Other". If you choose "Other", you get a plain text box. God knows what you need to put in there! If the system is capable of discovering devices on a remote machine, and on the local machine via a network loopback, why can a list of devices not be provided instead of a plain text box? You shouldn't need to use this network loopback trick just to change a default sound sink. ** Affects: padevchooser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Local sources/sinks not enumerated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
