Songs not playing on Arch Linux

Describe the bug Songs not playing when selecting one in psst

To Reproduce

  1. Open psst
  2. Attempt to play song

Expected behavior

  1. Open psst
  2. Attempt to play song
  3. Hear music Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Environment

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Version: 5.8.12

Additional context I can't think of much else, playing media seems to work in my web browsers and other players, but for some reason in psst, songs just won't play. I'll select play, but the text indicating the timestamp the music is at will never change from "0:00", and I hear no sound, so from this I deduce music won't play. I tried opening it with a terminal attached to see the output, the closest thing I got to a clue was this error:

[ERROR psst_core::audio::output] output stream actor is dead

I've had the same issue, see #230.

In my case it was fixed by installing pulseaudio-alsa, see also the AUR.
