[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#508238: pulseaudio: audio sink is suspended incorrectly

[Anand Kumria]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 0.9.13-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

After playing audio via Rhythmbox for random amounts of time, it would lock up.

I have started running pulseaudio by invoking 'pulseaudio -v -v' and during one
of the lock-ups I noticed:

I: protocol-native.c: Connection died.
I: module-suspend-on-idle.c: Sink alsa_output.pci_8086_24c5_alsa_playback_0 idle for too long, suspending ...
I: module-alsa-sink.c: Device suspended...

It seems that pulseaudio is suspended the output sink, and causing rhythmbox to hang.

This did not happen in the past.

Anand
