           Summary: Dragon player doesn't allow selection of audio or
                    subtitles tracks with Phonon backends other than xine
           Product: dragonplayer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: richard.vdboom at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I'm running slackware-current with KDE 4.5.4 packages. Recently, phonon-mplayer
has been added to the distribution packages, so I installed it. I also compiled
a phonon-vlc git clone on the 12th of december to try it with VLC 1.1.5.
Most things work fine, except that the audio and subtitles selectors in Dragon
Player do not work when the phonon-vlc or phonon-mplayer are used, while they
do allow to choose on the fly the audio and subtitle tracks when phonon-xine is
used. The menu do provide the appropriate entries, but they don't allow
selection.
The selection does work with kaffeine, so I guess this is an issue with Dragon
Player and not with phonon-vlc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install if not available the phonon-vlc backend and the VLC player. In System
Settings -> Multimedia, choose the VLC backend as the default one (the first in
the list).
Open in Dragon Player a DVD or a MKV file with multiple audio and subtitles
tracks, start to play the film then try using the menus on the upper right to
change the audio and/or the subtitle track.

Actual Results:  
The first audio and subtitle continue to be used, whatever the selected tracks
in the menu

Expected Results:  
The selected audio and subtitle should be played.
