Bug 240093 – media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.12 does not play event sounds from libcanberra

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thorsten Vollmer 2008-10-05 19:53:56 UTC]

media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.12 does not play event sounds from libcanberra if the event ID contains a hyphen. This is the case for most events.

You can reproduce the problem with canberra-gtk-play --id=desktop-login (assuming that this sound is available)

This patch solves the problem:

A revision bump might be appropriate. Thanks for your consideration.

A new version of pulseaudio was released faster than expected. This bug is fixed in pulseaudio-0.9.13.

Pulseaudio-0.9.13 was added to portage. Closing.
