Hi Lennart, hope you had a good time in India.
paplay seems to be broken in git master, git bisect tells me the culprit is:

fb55798a3eb73b4c00225232408b766f74533409 is first bad commit
commit fb55798a3eb73b4c00225232408b766f74533409
Author: Lennart Poettering<[email protected]>

     pacat: allow configuration of latency in msec

With this commit paplay is stuck, there's no audio out and no update
of time/latency.

Ahh so that's where the problem lies... I'll try and fix if Lennart
doesn't beat me to it.

This fixes it for me:
ff2091b pacat: Don't use any buffer attr if we don't set any
latency/process time params

May not be the nicest fix in the world but it'll do until Lennart can
review properly :)

Actually I had I really wanted to write what I wrote. i.e. passing
NULL as buffer_attr means "use the default latency" (which is
250ms). Passing a buffer_attr with all values set to -1 means "i don't
care about latency" (which ideally means 2s latency).

So, yes, I actually meant what I did in fb55798a... Now the question
is why this doesn't work for Pierre.

For clarity (not sure if I mentioned it) but I did experience the same
problem too, so it wasn't just Pierre that was affected.

To be fair tho', I did only test it with small samples - e.g. less than
2s, so perhaps the problem is that the buffer simply never gets full
enough to start playing?

FWIW, I see something which seems to be the same in plain Fedora 12 as well. pulseaudio-0.9.21-4.fc12.i686

"paplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav" hangs, while it works fine with aplay.

That has tricked me a number of times to conclude that PA had stopped working while it actually was working just fine ... except for this.
