Package: vlc
Version: 2.2.1-4
Severity: important

Hi,

When using VLC with KDE5 without pulseaudio, VLC keeps changing the
output audio device. I've configured VLC to use the "HDA Intel ALC888
Analog Audio Device" but it switches back to "HDA NVidida, HDMI0
Hardware device with all software conversion" (which means that I do
not have any sound):

* this always happens when I start vlc;

* it happens sometimes at the beginnig of the playback.

When this happens, I get this in the console:

[00007f7dc8c04568] avcodec decoder debug: enabling direct rendering
[00000000021f1028] core audio output debug: restart requested (2)

[00000000021f1028] alsa audio output debug:  subdevice name: subdevice #0
[00000000021f1028] alsa audio output debug: initial hardware setup:

I can switch back to the "HDA Intel ALC888 Analog Audio Device" in the
menu and it works correctly.

This only happens when using KDE. I tried with XFCE, LXDE and the
configured device is used.

Note: I'm not sure if this is related but the "HDA Intel ALC888 Analog Audio
Device" appears twice in the vlc menus. I can select any of those
device: correct correctly:

Cheers.
