[Bug 456954] [NEW] KDE notifications in karmic do not play completely

[Jason Straight (LeeJunFan)]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-runtime

The KDE notifications (knotify?) do not play the complete sounds, only
the first 1-2 seconds of a sound. If you choose to use an external
player such as mplayer it works fine, but still unable to hit the play
button on the configuration page for the event.

for example, if I set powerdevil event for AC unplugged to play
/usr/share/sounds/k3b_error.wav and hit the play button to the left of
the file name it will play about a second of the sound.

Setting the system to use mplayer will allow the actual event to play
completely, but the preview still only plays 1 second. Kalarm seems to
use phonon directly for it's sound events and therefore will not play
the complete sound on an alarm event.

I've tried rm'ing the config files for phonon and knotifyrc from the
.kde/share/config dirs to start with defaults, still does it.

I'm using the xine backend, xine itself (via gui) plays the same file
completely, all other sound works.
