Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
ldd /usr/bin/mplayer|grep jack returns nothing, and, consequently, using
mplayer -ao jack is broken.
Fixing this is as simple as building the package (fakeroot debian/rules
binary) in an environment the JACK -dev package(s) installed and
present. The configure script picks up the rest, though I don't know
about any packaging issues this might not cover (eg. specifying the
dependency by hand in one of the files in debian/ or whatever; I have no
idea.)
This problem has existed since Dapper, come to think of it. I mention
it now because the build deps for package mplayer are currently broken
in Feisty, and I've been in dependency hell all day trying to figure out
how to get this @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#^ package rebuilt with
JACK support. I
can't do an "apt-get build-dep mplayer," due to broken dependencies in
libpulse0-dev, so I have been struggling all day to find a way to hack
around this.
The best solution would be to fix the broken package at the source.
Many people use JACK. This application can talk to JACK. Why build
without JACK support? It doesn't make sense.
