Bug 384961 – media-libs/mediastreamer-2.7.3[pulseaudio]: why it requires any other sound output as well?

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description niks1024 2011-09-29 17:11:18 UTC]

If I'm understanding emerge output (see attachment) correctly, net-voip/linphone-3.4.3 and net-voip/linphone-3.4.3-r1 (others were not tested but probably have the same problem) ebuilds are requiring media-libs/mediastreamer to be built with any-of ( oss alsa jack portaudio coreaudio ). Unfortunately this leaves out pulseaudio USE flag making me wonder if PulseAudio is really not supported or just not listed as one of the possible USE flags for sound output.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
USE="-alsa pulseaudio" emerge -pvND linphone
Actual Results:  
emerge fails (see attachment)

Expected Results:  
If my hunch is right, it should work with PulseAudio too.

I'm very sorry, upon closer ebuild exhamination it turned out the problem is with media-libs/mediastreamer-2.7.3 this probably means it's require one of those for a reason. Sorry.

That means you were wrong about reporting this as a bug? If so, please close this bug as "RESOLVED INVALID". If you're still having problems, please be more specific and change the Summary of the bug as well (if appropiate).

Hm, I guess this was my overlook, but... what did you mean by comment #2 ?

Could you try this patch and build mediastreamer with pulseaudio only?

[Comment 6 niks1024 2011-10-14 06:46:54 UTC]

Sorry for not responding sooner, as I'm not the one who encountered the problem, I have no means of testing actual calling, but when mediastreamer is compiled with only pulseaudio support, linphone configuration does show pulseaudio and can output test sound (albeit like Skype with some corruption, possibly because of not using the right pulseaudio stream profile).

Thank you for feedback. I've commited patch to the tree.

tried and it works well (as before) for in/out audio stream for me. Thanks
