Description Eric F. GARIOUD 2012-02-04 13:25:29 UTC
Whatever device is selected among the list of Device Preference leads to an identical result when the vlc backend is selected.
No problem with the xine backend.

-- Environment ------
KDE 4.7.4 but this was also the case under last 4.6 stable
phonon-4.5.1-r1 + phonon-vlc-0.4.0 + phonon-xine-4.4.4

-- Device list with the vlc backend selected --------
Showing "Advanced devices" 11 devices are shown including :
Alsa Default | The HDA (which outputs are not connected) | The ICE1712 compatible device which outputs to an external amplifier | jack (running) | dummy | out_file | loopbacks... aso...

--- Problem details ----------
Whatever the device I select and apply to everything, I can hear sound when depressing the test button.
which obviously should not be the case with devices such as HDA, dummy, out_file...
When jack is selected, jackd sees no client.
Moreover, I do not even think that the first device in the list (Alsa-Default) is chosen because my Alsa-Default is made around dmix + resampling and the sound I can hear is obviously not resampled.

Everything is absolutely correct when selecting the xine backend.
I get a more reduced set of devices but I correctly hear nothing when testing the HDA, jackd sees an additional client when I select jack... aso.
 

Reproducible: Always
