Pulseaudio output plugin not available in xine engine

[Giannis M.]

Binary package hint: amarok

I've been using hardy beta 64bit for a while and was using the xine engine's pulseaudio output plugin. Recently the 'pulseaudio' option has disappeared from the 'Output plugin' dropdown list in the 'Engine' settings tab. The first time I ran amarok with my old configuration it complained about xine engine not initializing.

It's being discussed in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=743273 and it appears it happens in hardy 32bit also.

Confirmed in Hardy 32-bit. Guess i gotta switch back to alsa for the time being:(:(

Amarok seems to be working again for me after the updates on Mon Apr 7.

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Is this fixed for the rest as well?

Thank you for your reports.

[Jerry (priegog)]

Nope, not for me at least. Hardy 32-bit, latest updates as of Monday April 7th. Amarok still doesn't show the option "pulseaudio" under output plugins. I only get the options alsa, oss and file.

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Ok thank you.
setting back to confirmed

[Michele Costantino Soccio (michelinux)]

Same for me: nothing changed in Amarok.

[Kevin Oberle (kevin.oberle)]

The Pulse Audio option is till not available for Amarok, however the auto detect option is now working for me but only because its using alsa.

Why is this low importance? It's extremely annoying as I can no longer use Amarok, which I've used to listen to music for years now.
