--- Comment #19 from Tanu Kaskinen <tanuk at iki.fi> ---
Is the point of the test in comment 10 that it tries to prove that on Ubuntu
both files play through PulseAudio? That was visible already in the initial
logs.

The interesting question is why LibreOffice doesn't even connect to PulseAudio
on the BLFS system when trying to play the "watermelons" file, but it connects
fine with the "prague" file.

The logs on Ubuntu show that LibreOffice is having some trouble when trying to
play the "prague" file: first GStreamer's probe stream fails (probably due to a
PulseAudio bug that was fixed in 5.0), which causes LibreOffice to disconnect.
Then LibreOffice connects again through the alsa plugin, but there's no trace
of stream creation and LibreOffice disconnects again. Then LibreOffice connects
for the third time, now using GStreamer again. The third attempt works. With
the "watermelons" file it works on the first attempt. This is an interesting
difference between the two files, but doesn't help much with figuring out why
BLFS works differently (in that case "prague" works already on the first
attempt, and as said before, "watermelons" results in zero connection
attempts).
