sermat Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi: I just installed 2008.0. I also installed mplayer/mplayerplug-in. Now, when I go to pgatour.com and try to play a video, it plays fine the first time. But, it fails to play the second time. The only cure is to "# killall pulseaudio", and then it plays the video again. Anyone can comment on this. NOTE: earlier versions of Mandriva never had this problem. Many thanks, serge.

scarecrow Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Do you mean 2008.1 alpha? Version 2008.0 does not use PulseAudio as its audio server. If it is so, then please notice the "alpha" tag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sermat Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 Sorry,sorry,sorry, YES, I first installed 2008.0, and then "upgraded" it to the latest cooker (Alpha) last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 PulseAudio looks very promising, but it (still) has some issues even in stable releases (like the latest Fedora Core). I do like the idea of having Pulse in Mandriva, but IMHO you shouldn't expect everything working in Cooker, especially if something (like Pulse here) is just recently introduced.

scarecrow Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 what does pulse audio have that amarok fdoesnt>? Excluding the insignificant fact the former being an audio server, and the latter a media client, they are identical... :P Off the record: I love Amarok, but it has two big cons: 1. tagging only via the unreliable MusicBrainz, and 2 (a big stopper for me) being unable to utilize jack-audio-server as backend.
