            Bug ID: 353565
           Summary: Default Konqueror install is missing the required
                    gstreamer + phonon-backend for HTML5 audio
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 4.14.2
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: khtml
          Assignee: konq-bugs@kde.org
          Reporter: db0451@gmail.com

Thanks for an otherwise fantastic DE on Debian. However this is one of 2 issues
I've had with sound, out-of-the-box.

Debian 8/Jessie installed with KDE. Konqueror would not play any sound on HTML5
apps such as YouTube. About 2 hours of searching revealed this is because
Konqueror uses webkit for rendering, which depends on gstreamer for audio.
Neither gstreamer nor phonon-backend-gstreamer were installed automatically,
despite being prerequisites of the default browser/rendering model. aptitude
install for both of these and a browser restart fixed it.

Since KDE's default browser is Konqueror and its default model is webkit,
everything required for basic functionality should be installed automatically -
which includes sound.

Kind regards
D.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install Debian 8 from DVD #1 with KDE selected as only desktop environment
2. Open default browser Konqueror
3. Attempt to hear sound from an HTML5 applet

Actual Results:  
No sound

Expected Results:  
played sound

Took about 2 hours of Googling to find the answer, and I'm a very persistent
searcher - it looks like several other people were not so lucky. The
dependencies should be corrected to avoid future users having the same issue.
