Bug#818741: pulseaudio-module-x11: repeatable intermittent driver working

[Richard Jasmin]

Package: pulseaudio-module-x11
Version: 5.0-13
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

we have an issue. Because I know for a fact snd hda intel aka alc889 is
fully supported at this time.kernel not only recognizes the hardware but so
does the sound daemon.

YET...

either pulse is tripping acid hard or we have a more serious issue with the
kernel driver that is going un unnoticed.THIS HARDWARE IS FULLY SUPPORTED.

some days it wants to work, some days not.
fldigi will punch out audio but heaven forbid I want to play music....nothing.
Its not the app and the music seems to be all the way up.

pulse reports "dummy audio" and no hda intel internal hardware. alsa says
differently. not only does my 7850s have hdmi out on multiple channels but the
ATI SB internal shows up too.

YET...

aplay a file and NOTHING....my speakers are all the way up. NOTHING OUT.I
should be waking my neighbors at this point.

this needs to be addressed ASAP. Not having working audio is reason enough to
ditch linux.And I dont want to ditch ANY Linux.
I DONT WANT SIN. SIN is too vulnerable.
