Phonon - Audio-Output-Problem

[nearlyNERD]

Hey,

after many problems, I get phonon "working":

When I click on an area, a 1-second-sound should be played.

My problem is, that I get this warnings and a big latency (1 second or something like this), before playing the sound:


WARNING: Phonon needs QCoreApplication::applicationName to be set to export audio output names through the DBUS interface
Qt Application(5432) Phonon::KdePlatformPlugin::createBackend: using backend: "Xine"


My Phonon-specific code is this:


#include <phonon/audiooutput.h>
#include <phonon/path.h>
#include <phonon/mediaobject.h>
#include <phonon/backendcapabilities.h>

// .....

Phonon::MediaObject *music =
Phonon::createPlayer(Phonon::MusicCategory,
Phonon::MediaSource("/home/fabi/Desktop/MobileDrumKit/MobileDrumKit/data/Music/15575_lewis_crash_bell.wav"));
music->play();

I also tried to do this :


QList<Phonon::AudioOutputDevice> audioOutputDevices =
Phonon::BackendCapabilities::availableAudioOutputD evices();
Phonon::AudioOutput *audioOutput = new Phonon::AudioOutput;

audioOutput->setOutputDevice(audioOutputDevices[0]);

but no luck...

Thanks in advance.

Also, I want to know, how big the latency between clicking and hear the sound is usually.

Can you make the warning disappear by setting that application name?

Yes, but only the first one.

The second one and the high latency of 1 second is still here... :(

Also have this problem with latency

Well, the warning says something about the output engine used: "Xine". There has to be a way to select a different output engine. Try that to further boil down the problem to either the backend or the Qt frontend.
