#23632: kde4-ANY Crippled sound without QuickTime addons
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: dtsimon@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2
Keywords: kde4, qt-mac, phonon | Port:
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The KDE4 ports depend on Qt's phonon sound system, which in turn depends
on the native QuickTime system. As it states at
http://mac.kde.org/?id=download , if QuickTime can't play it, phonon can't
play it.
The solution is to install the Xiph (ogg) QuickTime component
(http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/) to allow QuickTime to play ogg files.
Installing Perian (http://perian.org/) wouldn't hurt, either.
There should be a note during the port install process saying that this
step is necessary since much of KDE's audio is in ogg format.
Would it be possible to force or automate installation of these QuickTime
addons through the port install process?
