#380: Starvation in Volume Control window with too many audio streams -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: lukehutch | Owner: lennart Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: daemon | Severity: normal Keywords: | -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- When there are too many audio streams playing (so that updating the VU meter displays takes a cumulative amount of time greater than the maximum window redraw rate), the Volume Control window completely locks up and won't redraw. This is a starvation issue.
Updating VU meters should happen one at a time, in round-robin fashion, on demand from the idle loop, yielding after each single VU meter update has completed. -- Ticket URL: <http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/380> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
