+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Short version: why is that the Xine backend has a waaaay better sound
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; than the vlc backend?
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Long version:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I sued VLC as backend on KDE since the Xine backend was broken when
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Mageia 2 came out. Then a couple of weeks ago I tried Xine again and
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; it worked, which is good.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; After doing that, I noticed that the sound quality was just great. I
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card and Sennheizer headphones
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; because I like good sound, but I wasn't enjoying music for a while
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; until I switched back to Xine. The sound was not good, not good bass
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; or highs, but now all sounds clear and great.
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Is this difference because of the actual sound engine or is it
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; something in phonon or something else? Has anybody else noted a
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; difference? Trying with laptop speakers doesn't count, of course ;)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I've noticed differences that drove me crazy when testing login, logout
+</I>&gt;<i> etc. sounds for Mageia: what I heard depended on the player I used and,
+</I>&gt;<i> for at least one player, also on whether I played or replayed a sound. I
+</I>&gt;<i> don't remember having tried Xine, though, but at least vlc, audacity,
+</I>&gt;<i> amarok and totem.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Reading your story makes me glad I didn't hurry to buy an expensive
+</I>&gt;<i> &quot;real&quot; sound card to try to solve the problem ;)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I don't have a clue what causes the differences.
+</I>
+perhaps it's the backend of those phonon-backends that makes the differences?
+
+or it could be the way the players work. threaded vs non-threaded and taking
+into account dropping frames due to slower processing or whatnot.
+
+it's too bad phonon-xine isn't that much supported, because i think it's
+great.
+
+in any case, i would try to find out if vlc uses a native pulseaudio, or if
+xine does...
+
+there could be an equalizer or automatic sound-volume adjuster, or whatnot....
