I upgraded to kde 4.2.4 and i'm not able to reproduce mp3, but the system can reproduce the notifications. If I use the gstreamer backend when i try to play a mp3 i obtain the following errors in the .xsession-errors file: Phonon::GStreamer::Backend: Failed to initialize GStreamer (<unknown>:6910): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_ref: assertion `object != NULL' failed (<unknown>:6910): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_sink: assertion `GST_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (<unknown>:6910): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_element_set_state: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failed if instead i use the xine backend i obtain: request to play a stream, but no valid audio/video outputs are given/available klauncher(3567)/kio (KLauncher): SlavePool: No communication with slave.

Just add the Packman repository for 11.2, which are ready on the mirrors, for example: ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/11.2 and replace the openSUSE packages by Packman ffmpeg, libxine*, faad2 and all their subpackages (see the same versions) from there and use the Xine backend for Phonon. Their will be additionally packages installed or updated for meeting requirements. I haven't tried GStreamer yet.

I actually had already done as you said (added the 11.2 Packman repo and installed the codecs from there),

Does it work for you now?

but does this mean that openSUSE 11.2 is going to ship with a broken sound system (until configured with the Packman repo)?

No. The basic sound system works. KDE and Gnome notifications and all sound files and streams based on open source codecs work. I'm not an expert on patents and licenses, but openSUSE - and all other free Linux distributions - can be shipped only with free audio and video codecs, and the non-free you got to install as a add-on repository. openSUSE offers much information about that in their Wiki. The basic sound system (OSS, ALSA, PulseAudio) is meant to process unencoded PCM audio streams. As soon as they are compressed and encoded there might come license and patent matters into the game, it's a matter of law. BTW: Such matters play a role in Windows and MacOS, too. Either they are paid there directly with the OS, or you get several appropriate codecs by several setups from the vendor itself (as QuickTime, RealPlayer), either by a free, simplified application, or a paid "gold" or "professional" variant of them :-) Shortly, looking at the null-fare of OpenSUSE and all other community-based Linux distributions, it is really a minimum of work to do adding Packman, VideoLAN or similar repositories to play Video DVDs and decode MPEG streams, isn't it? ;-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
