SMPlayer Support Forum

If I do that, I'll get a lot of complains from ubuntu users, that would think this is a bug in smplayer.

@wantilles

As you probably know(?), the majority of desktop linux users are using ubuntu.

That is, the default should support the majority. I would complain if alsa was dropped as a supported audio output but it's just not the default anymore.

P.S. You should learn some manners boy. Calling people idiots because they don't do what you want is, in itself, idiotic.

As I can see from your writings, you have no idea about programs development. Saying that "Their code and packages have no relevance to the vanilla upstream code at all." shows that:

a) you have no idea about their patches
b) you use really vague terms in order to prove your point.

Well, as a data point, on a Debian stable (mostly) derived distro, I have rebuilt your mplayer using a mostly stable set of development headers, using a very recent svn snapshot, and the libpulse-dev in Lenny. I was amazed to see SMPlayer work using the pulse output without any tweaking, since we use the ALSA drivers, and this was the first time I had seen a pulse audio output work (also still works with alsa)
