Details

Description:

vlc no longer enables the OSS plugin implicitly. Previously to 2012 --disable-oss was needed to disable it. Now --enable-oss is needed to enable it. In the Arch package for vlc, it does not specify --enable-oss, thus no OSS plugin is compiled. This is a problem for anyone using legacy OSSv3 drivers, or the new OSSv4 which (hopefully) supercedes ALSA.


Additional info:
* vlc 2.1.0-4 line 77

Steps to reproduce:
./configure => no OSS support
./configure --enable-oss => OSS support if possible
This task depends upon

Oh uh, also there are tons of compiler errors in oss.c when I add --enable-oss to the PKGBUILD manually. Upstream fixes may be necessary... oh well at least there's mplayer.
