Stress test overruns DBus on arm

[Michi Henning]

The mp3 stress test files on arm because it loses the DBus connection. The test itself succeeds, but the output from the mp3 test shows the DBus failure. I suspect we are overrunning DBus on the return path rather than the outgoing request path. Middleware for children :-(

I suspect that it is impossible to do anything meaningful about this. If the client doesn't keep up with reading the responses, the server ends up overrunning DBUS on the return path. Because the server can't know what the client is doing, I don't think it's possible to do anything about this.

Comments anyone?

Closing this as unfixable. In practice, if the client doesn't keep up with the server, the service loses its DBus connection. After 30 seconds of idle time, the service exits and restarts once there is new activity. With only one application in the foreground on the phone, a misbehaving application can only hurt itself. We'll have to revisit this though if we need the service on the desktop.
