If pulseaudio becomes unresponsive or is in a bad state, plasmashell can
hang, leaving the entire graphical system unresponsive unless you can
kill and restart pulseaudio.

This condition can occur when messing with jackd or if a device
encounters an error or similar condition, of which if the user attempts
to adjust the volume or trigger a plasma audio event, plasma will
immediately hang indefinitely.

Audio calls need to not be blocking, or should be handled in a sandboxed
thread with a timeout, there is no guarantee that they will finish
immediately or at all (hence why window's did away with push events).

If you can provide the information requested in comment #1, please add
it.

You can interrupt gdb while plasmashell hangs to get the backtrace.
Without this information, we have to assume that it is some upstream
component that blocks.

Thanks for the update; changing status.

I cannot see a cause for a freeze in the trace, but maybe plasma-pa
developers have an idea where Plasma does blocking calls to pulseaudio.
