@Tomma:
Hi Tomma, thanks for the reply, indeed it would seem that it should be working, however I wanted to point a couple things out.
My rationale about HAS_ALSA is only from looking at the source code, I reckon I could be making some wrong assumptions, do you see anything I might be missing in that rationale?
As for the change I made to the configure file, it kind of feels to me like I forced it (I'm not very familiar with the make process and the use configure). Now, I forced it because changing the *.pri file wasn't working, it would always yeild a 'no', do you think I might have introduced the problem when forcing the value to yes?
Should I maybe force other values?
Another thing I missed to mention is, I compiled this separately after finding the problems, do you think recompiling the whole thing again has a chance in fixing it?
I might have run the compilation more than once, repeating the "make -j" and "make install" steps often more than once, perhaps when runnng it multiple times it can leave things dirty? Is there a way to 'clean' before rerunning these commands?
I'm sorry for the newbie questions, I will be trying to get more familiar with these processes in the short term, but for now I haven;t been able to invest much more effort in it.
@All: Has anyone out there been able to produce sound on the raspberry pi 3.5 audio output using QAudioOutput?
