Bug Description

Binary package hint: kaffeine

I have set Settings->xine Engine Parameters->audio->driver to "pulseaudio". When I try to play something it always says: "Can't init Audio Driver 'pulseaudio' - trying 'auto'..." It says the same thing when I select Settings->xine Engine Parameters.

No other programs have problems with pulseaudio. E.g., I've configured both xine and audacious to use pulseaudio and I have no problems running two xine instances and one audacious instance at the same time, and all three are playing their sound just fine. But kaffeine can't use pulseaudio even when no other program (as I'm aware of) is using it. Since xine can use pulseaudio while kaffeine using xine can't it seems that the bug is in kaffeine.

It seems I had an invalid string in Settings->xine Engine Parameters->audio->Expert Options->pulseaudio_device and when I cleared this field it started working.

Changed in kaffeine:
