and i just updated to KDE 4.3.3, its working fine as usual. I also updated the rest of the -current packages.

Thanks Pat!

Well it's a maintenance release and has no appearance change from 4.3.2. For a list of fixes that took place in this version see this. It's smoother and feels a bit faster but hard to tell. Been using it since 3rd Nov.

What is the reason from moving to a separate phonon to the one within Qt?

JokerBoy · 11-06-2009, 03:40 AM

the one within qt it`s not so good :|

The audio playback device <name-of-the-sound-device> does not work.
Falling back to default

Thats because only the gstreamer backend is built in QT.
I don't know the rationale behind this though.

Code:

usr/lib64/qt/plugins/phonon_backend/
usr/lib64/qt/plugins/phonon_backend/libphonon_gstreamer.so

I think there should be a libphonon_xine.so there too but not sure.

BTW, those of you who already upgraded, do you get anything in the backend selection dialog in System Settings/Multimedia ?
edit3: Actually to use the xine backend i think the seperate phonon package is still needed. Otherwise you just get gstreamer.

BrZ · 11-06-2009, 04:46 AM

That was fast. Thanks.

~sHyLoCk~ · 11-06-2009, 05:19 AM

And you guys have phonon-backend installed?

i removed the package before upgrading to the new KDE, as i read the changelog.

slackd · 11-06-2009, 05:31 AM

however, this is after installing the phonon package.
the error of fallback to default device does not arise anymore.

Code:

[sam@slackd] >$ locate phonon|grep xine
/usr/lib64/kde4/kcm_phononxine.so
/usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend/phonon_xine.so
