Bug#675870: pulseaudio: Pulseaudio does not allow successfully connected applications to start audio playback.

[Brian Neltner]

Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

I am using Mint 13 Debian Edition, but this package is from the debian
repository so I am submitting it here instead of through Mint.

Up until two days ago, I had some major bugs in alsa (HDA Intel
crashing,
crashing on use if iec958, and weird static noise), but none of these
appear to
be the problem here.

When I connect any audio application to play through pulseaudio (tried
with
clementine, mplayer, play) it appears to connect but audio playback is
frozen.
If it were jackd I would say that transport was not starting properly.
This is
a new bug as of my most recent system reboot.

When I pipe sound directly to the ALSA driver underneath, it works fine,
so I
believe the bug is isolated to pulseaudio.

I have attached a log file produced with pulseaudio -v which shows the
three
applications in turn attaching, changing sample rates, and then...
nothing. No
idea how to debug further.
