Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libao2
Environment -- $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10" Libao version: 0.8.8-2 Notes -- The Libao man page states for 'default_driver' options: "The "alsa" driver is for the 0.9.x ALSA API, whereas the "alsa05" driver is for the 0.5.x API." Expected Behavior -- `cat /etc/libao.conf` to contain a valid "default_driver" name that is available in the Libao man page. Actual Behavior -- `cat /etc/libao.conf` contains 'default_driver=alsa09', which is not listed in the man page. Only 'alsa' and 'alsa05' are listed as available ALSA drivers. The man page provides conflicting driver names for versions of Alsa. This can provide particularly useful information to users looking for temporary workaround to Bug 55973 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arts/+bug/55973) in arts. Though the bug is filed as an Arts bug, it affects many audio applications include mpg321/123, ogg123, Gaim, and likely others. ** Affects: libao (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Man page incorrectly documents 'default_driver' libao.conf option key https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195123 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
