Gnome Shortwave Segfaults on Launch

I am using postmarketOS edge on a Pinephone with phosh as the shell.

I just made a fresh install and then I installed Gnome Shortwave. When I tried to launch it from the apps drawer nothing happned so I tried to launch from the terminal. Here is the output:

thread 'main' panicked at 'Could not find PulseAudio (Cannot create
gstreamer `pulsesink` element).: BoolError { message: "Failed to create

added type::bug label

Since upstream (Shortwave) probably isn't interested in supporting ALSA or adding error handling around this for the few users that will end up using it we'll probably have to add the missing dep

Well, we could ask on the upstream repo

I'm confused, phosh depends on pulseaudio, and it looks like phosh starts it. So unless pulseaudio crashed, then it should be available here.. @blendergeek can you confirm that pulseaudio is running before you try to run shortwave?

I just ran ps aux | grep pulseaudio and I get the following:

2970 user 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

I think that means that pulseaudio is running.

Which gst-plugins-* packages are installed?

By Rasmus Thomsen on 2020-10-15T16:49:09

gst-plugins-base and gst-plugins-bad

By Tim M. on 2020-10-16T13:21:42

Pulseaudio is in gst-plugins-good so you probably need that installed.

By Rasmus Thomsen on 2020-10-16T14:24:49

I install gst-plugins-good and it worked!

I have now filed a merge request at Alpine to get this fixed.

And here is a stack trace that I forgot to include previously:

The Alpine MR (https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/13682) has been merged, can we close this now?
