Comment (by jstedfast):
Well, I've had this happen to me with various programs: flash, xine,
pidgin, I think mplayer, definitely moonlight and probably others.
I can't speak for most of the above clients, but as far as moonlight is
concerned, we create a new alsa context per media source and use the
RW_INTERLACED mode. However, it's not like any of the times I've been able
to reproduce this with moonlight being the only running app making any
sound requests that there has ever been more than 1 media source playing
at a single time. Usually I'm able to reproduce on the very first media
source being played (typically hangs at the end).
I'm not sure how short qualifies as "short", but the shortest stream I've
ever tried to play in moonlight is included in the bug report I filed
called something like "pa can't play short audio streams" or some such
(which is ~8k or so). The next shortest stream I've tried to play is a
good 3 or 4 times larger than that one. So I guess we're not trying to
play "short" streams nor "a lot of simultanious" streams. I can't think of
anything special that we are doing either.
