Bug#534393: phonon-backend-xine: Doesn't offer Alsa's "default" device

[Christian Ohm <chr.ohm@gmx.net>]

Package: phonon-backend-xine
Version: 4:4.3.1-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I was trying Amarok 2 from experimental, first with the gstreamer backend which
doesn't work, then with the xine backend. That works, but only offers what
looks like hardware devices for playback, not Alsa's "default" device. Since my
soundcard doesn't have a hardware mixer, the default device is configured to
use software volume control. When I use another device, I get playback at 100%,
regardless of my mixer settings. This makes the xine backend unusable for me.

Best regards,
Christian Ohm
