A clarification about this point: Concerning ogg123, it was actually using the ALSA device (I had default_driver=alsa in /etc/libao.conf), and before the vlc upgrade, this was automatically forwarding the stream to PulseAudio (something like that, I don't know the internals). It is only after the upgrade of the vlc package[*] that things got really broken with ogg123 too. [*] I also used VLC after the upgrade, and I suspect that this had the effect to change something in the configuration, as neither vlc nor ogg123 was using PulseAudio any longer, as seen in pavucontrol. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
