Bug#548373: libopenal1: OpenAL using apps hang if PA backend is used

[Sven Arvidsson]

Package: libopenal1
Version: 1:1.8.466-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

If OpenAL Soft is configured to use the PulseAudio backend, by setting
   drivers = pulse
in ~/.alsoftrc all apps using OpenAL will simply hang.

I'm attaching a backtrace from one of these apps (the game Warzone
2100). I'm not sure if this is a bug in OpenAL Soft or in PulseAudio
so please reassign if necessary.

Thanks in advance,
