GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 597228
Empathy resume Totem's playlist when ending a call
Last modified: 2009-10-11 10:53:20 UTC
I was calling a friend with my GTalk account (he's on Windows with GTalk), and when I ended the call, I heard the song in Totem start. Notice I had played that song a while ago, so it was already finished. I guess this is the mecanism supposed to stop the music when you emit or receive calls, but it shouldn't resume finished playlists. Steps to reproduce : - Open a music in Totem, listen it till the end (or pause it manually) ; - Emit a call with Empathy ; - Hang up. This is Ubuntu 9.10 beta : empathy_2.28.0-0ubuntu2 telepathy-gabble_0.8.4-1 telepathy-mission-control-5_5.3.1-1 Note : this might be a Totem bug thought, cause when the song finishes, state is "Pause" (can't spot any "Stopped" state).
I have that bug too. But it is not empathy's fault. The only thing we do in Empathy is that line: g_setenv ("PULSE_PROP_media.role", "phone", TRUE); I reassign to rhythmbox, but it could be a pulse bug, I don't know.
actually I didn't read carefully the report, and you have the problem with Totem. I have the same with rhythmbox... Does that indicate that both have the bug, or is the bug in pulse???
This is a bug with PulseAudio trying to resume an existing call. Except it didn't know that the user paused the song. File a bug against PulseAudio with your distribution or upstream.
