[Bug 409885] Re: Audacious won't play wav files with any output plugin selected in playback

[Jim J]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: audacious
  
  ## PROBLEM:
  
  My problem is that audacious won't play a wav file when pulse audio is
- selected as the ouput plugin under the playback preferences.
+ selected as the ouput plugin under the playback preferences. Audacious
+ does play MP3's fine. I haven't tested any other formats.
+ 
+ Also, wav support works in Totem if that is any help.
  
  ## SIMILAR BUT NON-DUPLICATE PROBLEM:
   	   	
  - 232305 audacious does not play wav files correct when output is pulse audio 
  
  Bug #232305 concerns audacious playing wav file, plays them "gapped" so
  that the sound stutters.
  
  In my installation of Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu 9.04), audacious doesn't
  play wav files at ALL.  So I think this is a different issue.
  
  ## WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
  
  I have tried switching out the output plugin selected in the playback
  preferences to us ALSA instead of pulse audio and that did not correct
  the problem. A number of forums and blog posts had listed that as a
  possible work around and, unfortunately, it didn't work.
  
  Even if it had, however, it still seems like a shipped bug if the
  default, pulse audio, didn't work.
  
  ## TESTING:
  
  I downloaded a number of wav files from google searches and tried them
  and none of them worked.
