remove dependency on libpulse in ungoogled-chromium-bin
ndk- opened this issue · comments
Hi,
It seems the latest version of ungoogled-chromium-bin is now dependent on libpulse.
It causes all kinds of issues on my system as I do not use libpulse.
Using apulse causes videos to play with an uneven speed (i.e. sound is breaking up and video is tearing up).
I downloaded the latest portable version from here: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/releases/linux_portable/64bit/122.0.6261.128-1 and it does not require libpulse, neither it has any issues with playing videos.
For the reference:
Kernel: Linux 6.8.1-gentoo-x86_64
CPU/Platform: Ryzen 5900x/x570
Audio: FiiO K5 Pro
I would be more than happy to provide any additional details, if necessary.
I would love to continue using this overlay repo!
I wonder if it would make it unusable on systems with pulseaduio?
why would it? Pulse still uses alsa under the hood. And there is pulse alsa sink if someone needs it.
I'll get back to it later :)
@ndk- I've built i686 without linking it to libpulse specifically and indeed it is absent from ldd output.
Would you be able to test whether it works for you? x86_64 was just started and hasn't finished yet unfortunately.
just tried to test it. Unfortunately, it randomly crashes on my PC now. That being said, we can close this one as I just started using the native gentoo package. It takes forever, but it is what it is.
