I discovered the same thing. I tried playing ~/Examples/Experience\ Ubuntu.ogg with both Totem and mplayer.
With Preferences->Sound->Music and Movies set to "Detect Automatically" or "Pulse Audio" Totem refuses to play it. When set to "Alsa" it works flawlessly. With gnome-mplayer or mplayer, if I set audio codec (using "preferences" or the -ao CLI option) to "pulse" it doesn't work, but with "alsa" it does. -- GStreamer-based applications will not play media unless sound mixer is Alsa https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222413 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
