I don't know if this has any connection to a bug filed in LibreOffice Bugzilla but when embedding audio files (even the shortest fragment) Impress hangs for 10 seconds and in fact the whole operating system. The culprit seems to be the libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer. Without the gstreamer backend installed Impress plays no sound at all from whatever type of file but as soon as the backend is installed you see 10 second freezes each time you try to access that particular slide. Ev entually after the 10 seconds freze the file will be played. For a running presentation this is annoying to say the least. This started in 14.04LTS. In 12.04LTS there is no problem.
cheers, Peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1417315 Title: gallery sounds (wav files) are not installed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, debian/rules says: ifeq "$(shell echo $(USE_GSTREAMER)$(USE_VLC) | grep -q y && echo 0)" "0" # sound doesn't work anyway, remove the .wav files to save space rm -rf $(PKGDIR)-common/$(OODIR)/share/gallery/sounds rm -f $(PKGDIR)-common/$(OODIR)/share/gallery/sg9.* endif (http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg- openoffice/libreoffice.git/tree/rules?h=ubuntu-vivid-4.4#n2519) I think that test is backwards. The intent is to not install the sounds if neither audio backend is enabled, right? But actually it is removing the files if *any* backend is enabled, and it looks to me like both are (lines 246-247). This first appears in the 4.2 branch, so trusty and later (plus the corresponding backports) are affected. Should I file a Debian bug as well? Thanks for your work on libreoffice packaging!
