Qsound in ubuntu

[flowerslab]

Hi,

I using ubuntu desktop developing application for my embedded systems. When I tried QSound in Ubuntu desktop it doesn't worked. So I checked as follows. I gave output as false.

@
static QSound mysound("/media/sounds/Music.wav"); //The path of sound file is absolute.
qDebug() << mysound.isAvailable();
@

So my questions are:

Does QSound is available for desktop versions such as ubuntu?
Or I am doing anything wrong?

Don't use QSound at all. Use phonon or Qt Multimedia if they fit your needs, otherwise any other sound library will do.

Thanks Peppe,

My platform supports QtMultimedia. I going to use that.

In between driven by curiosity, whats the problem with QSound? Why it doesn't working? (Just ignore this post, if it is irrelevant)

It's old, bugged, supports basically one file format, has a cumbersome API, and requires NAS under Linux (which is something that isn't installed by default since like 1999).
