    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.04.2
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal

         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Lots of desktop programs status messages on the console. These messages end up
in the journal when you start these programs from Dolphin:

jun 12 14:39:18 bjourne mplayer[232387]:
==========================================================================
jun 12 14:39:18 bjourne mplayer[232387]: Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg]
FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders
jun 12 14:39:18 bjourne mplayer[232387]: AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, floatle, 45.4
kbit/1.48% (ratio: 5669->384000)
jun 12 14:39:18 bjourne mplayer[232387]: Selected audio codec: [ffaac] afm:
ffmpeg (FFmpeg AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio))
jun 12 14:39:18 bjourne mplayer[232387]:
==========================================================================

99% of all log messages are like these on my computer. I suppose redirecting
stderr to the journal might be useful but redirecting stdout too seem plain
wrong. If the behavior won't be changed could there be a configuration setting
to disable stdout logging?
