Package: phonon-backend-vlc
Version: 0.5.0+14.g382da0d-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

     I assume some update, but I am not sure. Sound in KDE is not 
     working for a few weeks now. It was working about a month ago. 
     I tried to find which updated deb caused the problem, but 
     could not pinpoint a single one (both vlc and the phonon
     backend had minor updates since it worked last).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?

     Boot laptop, log in. No sound at login or at any other time.
     No sound in System Settings or Amarok.

     However, sound works when paplay (play command of pulseaudio)
     is used. Sound sort of works when vlc is used on the command
     line (some problems with the speed of which the sound is 
     played though with dropped buffers).

     Sound in KDE works with the gstreamer backend, sound in Amarok
     does not work with gstreamer.

     Another, newly created account did not show any different 
     behavior, no sound in KDE or Amarok with VLC.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     Sound.

Any pointers on where to look or what to test are highly appreciated.

The problem was solved by installing vlc-plugin-pulse, sound works in kde and amarok now.

Alternatively sound also works after removing pulseaudio (instead of installing the above package).

I'm closing this bug as the problem was solved.

Thanks,
Sten
