Bug#534393: phonon-backend-xine: Doesn't offer Alsa's "default" device
hi,
after too many hours in trying to manage alsa, amarok, skype and
phonon, googling as a mad, i finally found the last piece of the puzzle
on the phonon web site: http://phonon.kde.org/cms/1032
the trick is that "hint { show on }" to let phonon see your alsa
hacks. beware that skype, i case you use it, does not like it, so you
have to play in your .asoundrc to make it see a version without the
"hint" entry.
my hacks? make skype use mic and front speakers (which actually
are headphones) and phonon use the rear speakers (which are my desk
speakers). config file attached... ;)
cheers,
Domenico
