Description Otto Liljalaakso 2021-10-08 07:47:44 UTC
Description of problem:
If Wireplumber is used, as Fedora Linux 35 Beta does by default,
vlc has an about 20 second delay
when opening video files that have an AC3 audio track.

I have identified Wireplumber as having some role in this
by switching back to pipewire-media-session
as was used in Fedora 34.
The issue disappears when I do that and reboot.

More details are available at upstream issue:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/wireplumber/-/issues/63

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.4.2-1.fc35

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install vlc from RPM Fusion
2. Download this example video: https://people.freedesktop.org/~wtay/DolbyDigitalBroadway.vob
3. Open the video with vlc: $ vlc DolbyDigitalBroadway.vob

Actual results:
Vlc starts,
showing black screen and 0% audio volume for about 20 seconds,
then video starts to play normally.

Expected results:
Video immediately starts to play.
