Bug#498638: twinkle floods syslog with BT_STREAMSTART_REQ

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: twinkle
Version: 1:1.2-2
Severity: normal

Hi!  I'm using Twinkle with a Bluetooth headset (via a USB adaptor).
Ever since some time ago[*], my syslog started being flooded every time
I place a call:

  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: received BT_STREAMSTART_REQ
  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: sending BT_STREAMSTART_RSP
  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: sending BT_STREAMFD_IND
  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: received BT_STREAMSTART_REQ
  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: sending BT_STREAMSTART_RSP
  Sep 11 13:32:39 toroia hcid[3362]: Audio API: sending BT_STREAMFD_IND

Turns out this is triggered by the call to snd_pcm_prepare() at line 761
of src/audio/audio_device.cpp.

Now, this may as well be an ALSA or bluez bug, but I can't reproduce it
when running MPlayer with its output redirected to the headset.  So,
lacking the knowledge and resources to track it down any further, I'm
filing this report against twinkle.  Please let me know if I can be of
any help.  (I may now know anything about ALSA or Bluetooth, but I take
orders very well; you only need to tell me what to do.)


[*] About 1-2 months ago, as I recall.  But the whole USB+Bluetooth
thing under Linux is very messy right now, so it may have been triggered
by me switching from bluetooth-alsa to bluez-audio, or from 2.6.18 to
2.6.25, or something else.
