Yes, this is expected behavior (at least when using libpulse directly, haven't tested with QAudioOutput). You need to acquire audio playback resources from the resource framework to play back audio. Also when the resource framework tells you to stop playing audio (e.g. because some higher-priority audio such as a phone call is coming in), you should stop playing. This is not to annoy developers, but actually to make sure only one application is using audio, and that third party apps don't interfere with calls and media players and other things. The library that will be supported in Harbour (i.e. you will be able to link against it), but is not yet in the repositories is this one (the plan is to also have a Qt wrapper for this library to expose signals and slots for easy usage in Qt-based applications) is libaudioresource: https://github.com/nemomobile/libaudioresource/ libaudioresource is just a small, simplified wrapper around libresource at the moment, but it will allow us to replace libresource/OHM (the middleware used as backend for resource policy at the moment) in the future without breaking third party applications (by changing libaudioresource to use a different backend, but still providing the same API). There's already a package in Nemo Mobile if you want to start playing with it right now: https://build.merproject.org/package/show?package=audioresource&project=nemo:devel:mw In the meantime (for testing and deployment), you can use libresource and/or libresource-qt, but be aware that using these libraries directly will not be possible for apps that plan to go to Harbour: https://gitorious.org/maemo-multimedia/libresource https://github.com/mer-packages/libresourceqt Once you finished your app, you should be able to simply replace libresource usage with libaudioresource and submit it to Harbour. If you don't plan to submit your app to Harbour, you can use libresource until it breaks with an update ;) HTH :) Thomas _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
