From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: If you click on the pause button with xmms, then clicking on pause again doesn't unpause the audio. Clicking on play starts the paused track from the beginning. Equally "xmms --play-pause" doesn't toggle between playing and pausing as it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmms-1.2.10-9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up xmms and select the alsa output plugin 2. Start playing something 3. Run "xmms --play-pause" to pause the audio 4. Run "xmms --play-pause" again Actual Results: Sound does not continue. Expected Results: Sound continues :-) Additional info: I'm not sure if it's necessary to select the ALSA output plug-in, I didn't actually try this with either esd or arts but since both of those give me considerable grief for other audio applications I do rather tend to avoid them in favour of clever stuff in ~/.asoundrc. You don't need to run "xmms --play-pause" you can just click on the pause button.
Created attachment 107314 [details] Fix for pause problem This bug is fixed in the xmms CVS sources. This patch is just the alsa output plug-in patch. I just added it as patch12 to the xmms source and applied it after all the other patches. It works a treat. The "play/pause" button on my laptop can now be configured to work!
Built into rawhide as 1.2.10-10. I'll do the same in RHEL4 once it's had some rawhide testing. Thanks for getting the patch. This bug might be related to bug 116709 by the way.
I've verified that 1.2.10-10 fixes the problem for me, too.
