Package: pulseaudio Version: 2.0-6 Severity: normal Hi,
after upgrading to wheezy, audio playback worked normally for a few days, but now failed beginning on nov 14. I updated packages regularly and I'd suspect a newer version of pulseaudio triggered the error, as I didn't touch any of the audio-related stuff. The symptoms: Applications won't complain when playing back audio. They just run the playback too quickly (approx 5.75 times as fast as real-time) and no audible audio is actually output on the speakers (complete silence, no noise etc.). This happens consistently when playing via alsa, directly via pulseaudio or via libSDL. I can still play back audio when using the OSS API. Illustrating the issue with command 'play' from package 'sox': $ time play 01_So_What_-_Ast0r.flac -t alsa 01_So_What_-_Ast0r.flac: File Size: 67.5M Bit Rate: 956k Encoding: FLAC Info: http://kindofbloop.com/ Channels: 2 @ 16-bit Track: 1 Samplerate: 44100Hz Album: Kind of Bloop Replaygain: off Artist: Ast0r Duration: 00:09:24.84 Title: So What In:100% 00:09:24.84 [00:00:00.00] Out:24.9M [ | ] Clip:0 Done. real 1m38.126s user 0m8.261s sys 0m2.684s I.e. it "Plays back" a 9 minutes 24 audio file in 1 minutes 38. Exact same behaviour when playing back with option "-t pulseaudio". Playback works when playing with "-t oss" or "-t ossdsp". Same problem when using mplayer for movie playback. Movies play back much too quickly (mplayer uses the audio playback for timing the frames), when playing via "-ao pulse", "-ao alsa" or "-ao sdl". Only "-ao oss" works. I have merely these pulseaudio-related messages in my syslog: ---8<--- Nov 15 00:02:05 snail rtkit-daemon[4468]: Successfully made thread 4620 of process 4620 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '1000' high priority at nice level -11.
