Subject: linphone: No sound when using pulseaudio
Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:58:52 +0000
Package: linphone
Version: 3.6.1-2.1
Severity: important

Linphone no longer works on testing: I have tried on two machines, one 
with amd64, and also this i386 machine.

On starting linphone:

ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:0
ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0
ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0

I have always found pulseaudio and linphone tricky to get to cooperate,
perhaps because of the scarce documentation on sound around ALSA. But
now I can get no sound out at all. Perhaps because of the problems 
above.

Hi there, 

This bug is really annoying…
If that could help, there is a really good analyze of the issue on
pulseaudio ML [1].

Also, someone has proposed a patch on linphone ML [2]. Upstream
developers seems not to care about this bug. Maybe the Debian Maintainer
can use this patch?

My 2 cts,

Subject: Closing bugs opened for old Gtk client
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 16:07:32 +0100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello,

you have reported a bug against Linhone 3.12 or earlier. This version
has been deprecated upstream for a couple of years and the old Gtk+
client has has been replaced with a new Qt-based client called
linphone-desktop. This will (hopefully) be released with Debian 11 aka
Bullseye.

We are sorry we could not deal with your bug report in time. However,
keeping your bug report open while we can neither check nor fix the
outdated client is not helpful in trying to iron out the remaining bugs
in the new client, so I have decided to close this bugreport.

Unfortunately, due to depending on Qt 5.12+ linphone-desktop cannot be
provided in buster-backports. If you can, please try the new client on
testing and report bugs. If the issue is still present please feel free
to reopen your bug.

Bernhard
