in libao code, dlopen is used to load some plugins

[ngn999]

but the path is hardcode here: https://github.com/xiph/libao/blob/master/src/audio_out.c#L298
and macdeployqt can't handle dependencies like this.

the original maclibs/libao.dylib looks like has some hack:

I'm looking for a solution.

EDIT:
the patch version is here:

I think this is a more stable solution: xiph/libao#10

could the plugins be disabled?
is the plugin neccessary for the play sound method.

someone has build alsa as build-in: https://github.com/Tslabdev/tslab_libao_library/commits/master
I can build macos.so as build-in.

maybe in the future ,we can change libao to other packages such as portaudio etc?

QWebEngine contains a chromium, but it can't play audio without libao+ffmpeg?

[xiaoyifang]

as far as I know ,the builtin chromium can not play speex format.

if libao+ffmpeg does not work ,try to chagne the audio play engine to qtmultimedia and have a try.

there is a period of time ,I have used chromium engine to play sound .

maybe we can add built-in chromium engine as a third option for user to choose.
