Further investigation reveals that I had an instance of jackd running (I strongly suspect a certain son of mine on this). It appears that removing this instance allows kaffeine to work again.
It also explains the lack of sound (that together with a lack of headphones [see previous piece of blame for the reason]). However, since xine is doing the rendering and it works natively, as does mplayer, why does kaffeine blow up? -- Kaffeine DVB stopped working in latest edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/66620 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
