Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cwirc
cwirc expects a dsp device. Using the default /dev/dsp gives "Error:
cannot open sound device /dev/dsp" (pulseaudio is using it).
A workaround is to launch xchat with:
padsp xchat
As pulseaudio is installed by default this workaround should be
documented in the package.
The package could offer to change the shortcut on install to a simple wrapper
script that uses padsp if it finds pulseaudio.
maybe with
/usr/bin/pulseaudio --check
** Affects: cwirc (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- does not work with pulseaudio natively
+ cwirc does not work with pulseaudio natively
