Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vlc
Taken from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=472811: VLC only plays without audio when using the pulse alsa plugin. When i looked into this it seems that VLC requests quite a big buffer. Which is ofcourse fine. Pulseaudio allows such a big buffer and will start playing when the requested buffer is nearly full. What this means is that untill the buffer is full the reported latency will obviously increase. Unfortunately it seems that the latency of a full buffer is so big that VLC thinks something is wrong and starts playing without audio. Changing the buffer size of 256 periods to 16 periods seems to fix this issue. (Somewhat of a workaround but still) Sjoerd ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: vlc (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Doesn't work well with the pulseaudio alsa plugin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
