           Summary: vlc backend refuses to output sound to external sound
                    card
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bschindler at student.ethz.ch


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have a logitech headset which has its own internal sound device. 
I have the vlc-backend in phonon

But when I go to the phonon device config, pressing play on the external card
doesn't produce any sound. Also, amarok stays silent (even though it's highest
in the priority). 

Sound is confirmed to work - tested with mplayer with -ao alsa:device=hw=1:0
and with the vlc player, by setting alsa output and selecting the headset as
the output device

Don't know what kind of info I should produce... so I just thought I'd post the
output of /proc/asound/cards. 
I'm a computer scientist, so just let me know what kind of info you need and
I'll provide 

Reproducible: Always
