Portage tree does not have such version, may be you mean 0.13.3? Anyway try building 0.14.3 with USE phonon enabled. Of course, I mean 0.13.3. I've tried 0.14.3 today without success (it builds successfully, it does not crash, but it does not produce a sound either). So was phonon enabled? Which phonon and backends versions do you have? Phonon was enabled. I don't really know how phonon works and how it should be used, so I don't really know how to check "which phonon and backends versions" I have, but here is the output of emerge -pqv phonon [ebuild R ] media-libs/phonon-4.6.0-r1 USE="gstreamer (-aqua) -debug -pulseaudio -vlc (-zeitgeist)" What sound file are you using? Is other phonon based player able to play it? May be gstreamer plugin with support for some format is not installed? There is 'Play' button near 'Browse...' button, do you hear the sound after pressing it? I tried to read the source and I think I know where the bug is in version 0.13.3. In file rsslisting.cpp, line 5979 is: QProcess::startDetached(QString("play %1").arg(soundNotifyPath_)); My system does not have command "play", I don't know in which package it should be $ play bash: play: command not found But if I create file /usr/local/bin/play with the following contents: #!/bin/bash aplay "$@" , quiterss starts producing sounds. If quiterss is compiled with phonon enabled, it will use phonon, play and aplay are fallback. Please answer questions from comments 5 and 6. Comment 5: I am tryng to use the standard quiterss notification sound file: /usr/share/quiterss/sound/notification.wav . I don't know what "phonon based players" are, but aplay and vlc play this file correctly. Comment 6: Sound in 0.14.3 is quite unstable on my system: when I press the "play" button, sometimes there is no sound, sometimes there is, but sometimes it is repeated more than once after I press the "play" button once. I don't know how problematic this fact is, this is an unstable version, so I could expect something like that. However, I insist that there is a problem in the current stable quiterss (which does not use phonon at all), and that my comment 7 explains where exactly the problem in the current stable version is. Version 0.15.2 was added to tree, if it still has the bug, please report it upstream. Please reopen if bug still exists and you reported it upstream. |
