Bug ID: 93544
Summary: No audio on systems that do not use PulseAudio
Product: Spice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: spice-gtk
Assignee: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: kyleterrien at gmail.com
The spicy client tries to setup sound on the client using PulseAudio. However,
if PulseAudio is disabled or is not installed, spicy does not fall back to
trying ALSA. Instead, there is no audio.
On a system that does not have PulseAudio installed, run spicy and connect to a
server. There are a couple of warning lines in STDOUT that look like:
GSpice-WARNING **: PulseAudio context failed Connection refused
GSpice-WARNING **: pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
And there is no sound in the client.
The system on which this issue occurred was running Arch Linux, which does not
install PulseAudio by default. Installing and starting PulseAudio allows spicy
to initialize audio.
The version of spicy used is spicy 0.30.
