QML Audio element plays audio just once

m_andrej

In the following example the sound is played only when I click Play button for the first time. Subsequent clicks have no effect. Anybody knows why?

import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
import QtMultimedia 5.5

Window {
    visible: true

    Column {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        Button {
            text: "Play"
            onClicked:
                audio.play()
        }
        Button {
            text: "Stop"
            onClicked:
                audio.stop()
        }
    }
    Audio {
        id: audio
        source: "success.ogg"
        onErrorChanged: {
            console.log("error: " + error)
        }
        onStatusChanged:
            console.log("status: " + status)
    }
}

I already tried:

to set loops property to 3, but the media is still played just once
MediaPlayer instead of Audio element, that still didn't help
to click Stop button after the music finishes and then again Play

I'm on Ubuntu Desktop, running Qt 5.5, gcc, 64-bit.

Have you tried SoundEffect? I've used that successfully on Linux.

SoundEffect works, although Audio would be more appropriate because it can hadle compressed formats.

I made a bug report from this: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51204

xargs1:
I realized that using SoundEffect crashes my app randomly.
I get the following output:
"Assertion 'o' failed at pulse/operation.c:67, function pa_operation_unref(). Aborting."

Is there any fix to that?
