playback kills pulseaudio

[Tony McKenzie]

When playing back music in rhythmbox it will stop playing back music and start seeking through tracks with no audio then crash somewhere during the first cd I play. It seems that rhythmbox is killing pulseaudio; I can restart pulse from the command line but not from the gui manager.

when I rerun pulse audio it will start but I get these complaints:
"#:~$ pulseaudio

When it says "N: module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 5.99 ms" the audio will skip and increase the ms.

I am using an m-audio 24/96 card with pulseaudio-0.9.13-0ubuntu1~ppa2 on Intrepid Ibex.
everything is updated as of Oct 15th.
I will also note that Rhythmbox didn't do this before the update.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?
 * What upgrade triggered the bug?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[Tony McKenzie (mckenzie-tony)]

Yes anytime i start rhythmbox and let it play it will crash within one cds
play time. I can reproduce this as many times as possible, it happens
anytime i use rhythmbox after the last pulseaudio update. I think it was a
day or two ago. But i listed the version number of pulse I am using.

If there is some specific information you would like me to gather just let
me know.

ok so I tried using exaile instead of rhythmbox and it seems to do the same thing. I'm not sure if this is a gstreamer issue or pulseaudio but its easy to reproduce on my system.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you get the issue using the intrepid pulseaudio version?

[Tony McKenzie (mckenzie-tony)]

Yes. I'm using intrepid ibex. have been since alpha. I didn't have this problem till the last pulseaudio update.

"#rhythmbox -d" reports this error when pulse crashes out

"(16:11:11) [0x8d72408] [rb_player_gst_xfade_bus_cb] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1582: Couldn't find stream for error "Disconnected: Connection terminated": pulsesink.c(684): gst_pulsesink_write (): /GstPipeline:rbplayer/GstBin:outputbin/GstGConfAudioSink:gconfaudiosink0/GstBin:bin5/GstAutoAudioSink:autoaudiosink0/GstPulseSink:autoaudiosink0-actual-sink-pulse"

I dont know how helpful that is to devs but there ya go :)

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Is this symptom still reproducible in *current* 9.04?

[dav59 (pubmag)]

this symptom is still reproducible in 9.04

in intrepid, i stream my sound from my laptop to my desktop correctly
since jaunty, after few seconds stream, pulseaudio crashes just after send these messages :

module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 29,93 ms
module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 59,86 ms
module-alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 80,00 ms

note : I send the output strem on my SPDIF output, so I add this parameter to default.pa :

load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,4 rate=44100

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

You should disable glitch-free. See load-module module-hal-detect
tsched=0 in /etc/pulse/default.pa.

You should also test the kernels at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/

For system wide effect, you should modify "load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0" in /etc/pulse/system.pa too. After i modified, my pulseaudio run fine.
Thanks.
