Workaround for making qt4 work with alsa
Hello Debian users,
recently I encountered a bug in a qt4 application [1]. With the help
of irc user jm_ I found that qt4 doesn't work with alsa [2] (at least
on jessie).
This is evident when you try to run
user@machine:/usr/lib/qt4/demos/qmediaplayer/./qmediaplayer
(from qt4-demos), which outputs
[08502878] pulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection
failure: Connection refused
[08502878] core audio output error: no suitable audio output module
I guess I am not the only alsa user being bitten by this, so I wonder if
any of you came up with a viable workaround to make qt4 work with alsa
again on jessie.
