Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

vlc on a vanilla kubuntu lucid install produces no sound unless run with sudo and the vlc-wrapper.

problem is fixed when the user is added to the 'audio' group.

This probably needs to be fixed in the default groups unless vlc can be made to go through pulseaudio (if i understand the general sound configuration correctly).

version : 1.0.5-1ubuntu1

VLC needs the audio group if it's configured to use ALSA. This is not really an error.

Changed in vlc (Ubuntu):
