[Pkg-pulseaudio-devel] Bug#500866: Pulseaudio crash

[brian m. carlson]

I experience this same bug.  When I use sound-juicer to listen to a CD,
pulseaudio will eventually crash with:

   Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating.
   Hard CPU time limit exhausted, terminating forcibly.

Usually, this happens on the first song.  This, of course, causes
sound-juicer to hang.

Other things that may be relevant:

* My time is set correctly (to UTC).
* pulseaudio is not running with realtime priority even though I am in
   the pulse-rt group[0].
* pulseaudio usually takes up a negligable amount of CPU until it
   crashes.
* pulseaudio skips several times whilst playing.

[0] The syslog says:
Jan  5 22:25:38 lakeview pulseaudio[25327]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_NICE, (31, 31)) failed: Operation not permitted
Jan  5 22:25:38 lakeview pulseaudio[25327]: main.c: setrlimit(RLIMIT_RTPRIO, (9, 9)) failed: Operation not permitted

I'm not sure how root would not be allowed to use setrlimit.
