Hi, i am using an external usb sound card explicite for mumble. Its managed through pulseaudio. This setup works grate on debian testing but isnt working with debian stable. I guess its a problem in the mumble package. Please fix that. thanks
It might be due to the mumble package in Stable, but I don't think I can fix this; the rules are that packages in Stable only gets bugfixes, and no new features. In other words, if a feature works in mumble 1.2.8-2 that doesn't mean that feature has to work in mumble 1.2.3-349-g315b5f5-2.2+deb7u1. There are more than 2 years between those releases, and the codebase between the two versions changed a lot to the point where patches for bugfixes have to be backported. Also I don't have a USB sound card to be able to reproduce the problem and test a fix. I'm having a look at the git repository for mumble, but there are approximately 614 commits between the two revisions. I cannot know how many for sure because the previous maintainer for the Mumble package released a version for Wheezy that was in-between upstream snapshots and cherry-picked patches. :-( See http://mumble.info:8080/snapshot/ and you'll see that 1.2.3-349-g315b5f5 isn't a snapshot release. In case you want to have a look through the list of commits that I think are relevant, install packages 'git' and 'tig', get the mumble git repo via 'git clone https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble.git', and run this within the downloaded repo: tig 814ae5e129de4add9345f1a6084a8432d7c831df..880e126d7a5d6ed546087a8442c1e9f8a65426f4 What you want is likely somewhere within.
