Openshot 3.5.1 AppImage; Debian (Trixie) 13.4.0; AMD_64; - As Openshot opens there is an entry in the terminal window progress messages as "ALSA lib conf.c:4029:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so (libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" Everything else appears normal but, obviously, playback of MP4 has no audio. There IS a file of that name, i.e. libasound_module_conf_pulse.so, in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/alsa-lib (and a link to it in /usr/lib) but evidently that is not where openshot is expecting it to be. Can somebody give me the expected path? I can surely create a link there to point to the installed path.

Related? Error regarding libFLAC.so.8 - in my Debian release the libFLAC version is already up to libFLAC.so.11 and possibly that mismatch, so.8 vs. so.11, is the root cause of the failure. I guess I was expecting such required libraries to be built in to the AppImage. I understand that Debian is not the same as other distributions, and I am sympathetic with the OpenShot developers' challenge to maintain compatibility with all the distributions and their respective updates and dependencies. But... hopefully somebody can offer a solution, or workaround, for my "no sound" situation. Thanks in advance. 😄
