[Bug 992262] [NEW] sound indicator not working after amarok close

[piotrekkr]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with unity. I've set Amarok as default music
player. I'm runing Amarok using sound indicator menu and everything is
ok until I close Amarok window using close button. After closing Amarok
music stops and amarok is terminated. (IMHO it should hide amarok under
indicator menu not terminate application). The problem is when Amarok
terminates, sound indicator still holds info about last played song and
I can't reopen player again using indicator menu. I think it's because
indicator thinks that Amarok is still open and playing. It's like
indicator have never got info that Amarok was terminated.

I'm expecting that after amarok terminates sound indicator applet is
cleared, and there is no info such as last played song and
play/next/prev buttons. It should be possible to run amarok from
indicator menu again.

My os:

piotrek@piotrek-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd

Release: 12.04

Amarok version: 2:2.5.0-0ubuntu6

Not related to amarok, reassigning.

sound indicator not working after amarok close

Actually, this IS related to Amarok. Amarok should continue running it's
background service even after it's closed.

Bilal,

You may not be familiar with this, but in Ubuntu there has been a
tradition of not flapping bug status back and forth, so I think that
reverting the reassignment without discussion was inappropriate (so I'm
putting it back). While you're certainly entitled to your opinion about
what Amarok should do, you've got an Amarok upstream telling you that's
not the case.

Personally, I don't think it's reasonable for indicator-sound to expect
the entire world to adjust to its notions of how things should work and
indicator-sound should handle cases like this more gracefully, but the
indicator-sound may not care to do that. I can see three possible
package/status combinations that might be reasonably applied here:

Amarok - Won't Fix
Indicator Sound - New
Indicator Sound - Won't Fix (if they choose not to address this case).

Given that Amarok upstream has told you they don't view this as a bug, I
do not think keeping it on the books as an open amarok bug is useful.
