Description Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2008-11-01 00:03:28 UTC
Since there are many people that have issues with the gstreamer backend and KDE, e.g. system sounds or amarok, it should be installed and used by default. It just works.
Comment 1 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2008-11-01 00:04:03 UTC
Forgot: installed and used by default for the distro and the 1-click installs.
Comment 2 Jannick Kuhr 2008-11-26 16:13:51 UTC
At least for amarok I can confirm that it does not work correctly with gstreamer. Please change the standard phonon backend to xine.

See bug 442175.
Comment 3 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2009-01-09 10:08:10 UTC
Since updating libxine1 to the packman version pulls the phonon xine backeend, this is kind of fixed. If anyone has issues with sound on the default install without updating libxine1, i.e. gestreamer is disfunctional and should not be the default in the next opensuse version, please re-open.
Comment 4 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2009-07-26 17:21:05 UTC
Fresh default install of 11.2 M4 + KDE:Factory and no sound notifications, e.g. login sound, in KDE until one installs the xine phonon backend.
