I am using fvwm with fvwm-crystal. I use a few kde apps like kate or |
| 2 |
kaffeine. I am also running jack all the time as sound server. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
The only one program I get trouble with this setup is kaffeine. When |
| 5 |
the sound is working fine with the old kaffeine version for kde3, it |
| 6 |
doesn't work at all with kaffeine for kde4. The problem seam to come |
| 7 |
from kaffeine and phonon. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
On one hand, the new kaffeine use the outdated and non maintained xine |
| 10 |
backend for phonon. |
| 11 |
On the other hand, I can launch kde, setup phonon to use jack, and |
| 12 |
kaffeine work fine with it. But back into fvwm, I still get no sound |
| 13 |
with kaffeine as kde is not running anymore. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I try to remove phonon-kde and install qt-phonon. The removing of |
| 16 |
phonon-kde was fine and kdebase-meta was removed at the same time. But I |
| 17 |
am still not able to install qt-phonon as it is a blocking: |
| 18 |
kaffeine need kde-libs, which block qt-phonon. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In conclusion, phonon is worst for me than arts was. What a mess!?! ... |
| 21 |
I don't want to flame, this is just my POV. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Do you know if the kde guys (the upstream for phonon for what I know) do |
| 24 |
have any plan to solve this mess? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Do you know any solution that will let me to have sound from kaffeine |
| 27 |
into jack when not running kde? |
