Details

Description:
xbmc is compiled with pulseaudio support enabled by default. i think this is unnecessary. i use kde and am forced to install pulseaudio, even though xbmc doesn't actually end up using it. if not, pulseaudio should atleast be made an optional dependency. similar, vdapu support is not enabled in compile. since xbmc lets you choose whether to use vdapu or not, I think it should be compiled in.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 9.04-2

Steps to reproduce:
install xbmc, it installs pulseaudio.
start xbmc, go to player settings, vdapu option is not available.
This task depends upon

pulseaudio can not be optdep and I think vdapu too.

ldd xbmc.bin |grep pulse
libpulse.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0 (0x00007fc4b31b6000)
libpulsecommon-0.9.15.so => /usr/lib/libpulsecommon-0.9.15.so (0x00007fc4ac68b000)

it means xbmc will not start without pulseaudio. The single way is disable it I think...

xbmc does not give you an option to select or deselect pulseaudio, while you have to explicitly enable vdapu from the settings menu. You are right about pulseaudio, but not about vdapu

community binary package still does not have vdapu enabled. If I compile from abs without any modifications, I get the vdapu option, but not with the community package

It seems I should install something which provides vdpau. What package can provide it on my machine with ATI card?
Comment by Anish Bhatt (anish) - Tuesday, 16 June 2009, 20:07 GMT
it comes with nvidia-utils
