[Bug 356687] Re: Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 371147 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/371147 Lennart says that he's stopped the assert from being called - see http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/595 He says that there is still something leaking ALSA snd_pcm_t objects. This was reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/pulseaudio/+bug/371147 and I later lodged a bug against pulseaudio - it's the ALSA plugin that's causing this issue. ** Bug watch added: PulseAudio sound server #595 http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/595 ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 371147 firefox: crashes on viideo stream with pulse.c:200: pulse_new: Assertion `p-context' failed. -- Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had this problem too with Ubuntu 9.04 x64 and Firefox 3.5, downloaded from mozilla.com, but not with Firefox 3.0.x shipped with Jaunty. Previously mentioned solutions haven't worked for me but I solved the problem by replacing $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so with a symbolic link to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so. cd $HOME/.mozilla/plugins mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so.bak ln -s /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so -- Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 356687] Re: Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video
It seems to me, that playing flash video (youtube) is handled by $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. This file is quite old (from June 2007), while the problems began with Ubuntu 9.04. My conclusion is that installation of flashplugin-installer might be a workaround, but not a solution of the root cause. I think I remember some problems related to pulseaudio when I tried out Amarok (music player). I can't confirm right now, because Amarok has no setting of it's own that selects pulseaudio or some other mechanism. But I supports that this problem is related to pulseaudio. -- Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 356687] Re: Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video
If you have conflicting system-wide and user Flash plugins, that is not something that Firefox or PulseAudio could help resolve. User plugins are always honoured preferentially.

[Bug 356687] Re: Firefox has ALSA/Pulse Audio issues when playing flash video
There is a function pulse_prepare in the file pcm_pulse.c in
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/plugins/alsa-plugins-1.0.18.tar.bz2. I'm not
sure which Ubuntu package that corresponds to, but it might be
libasound2-plugins or libasound2.
Could the bug be in that package, rather than pulseaudio?
Some lines from the source.
err =
pulse_wait_stream_state(pcm-p, pcm-stream, PA_STREAM_READY);
if (err 0) {
SNDERR(PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: %s\n,
pa_strerror(pa_context_errno(pcm-p-context)));
pa_stream_unref(pcm-stream);
pcm-stream = NULL;
goto finish;
}
The function pulse_wait_stream_state is defined in pulse.c in the same package.
It uses the function pulse_check_connection(), which is defined in the same
file, and if that function succeeds, pa_threaded_mainloop_wait() is called, but
I don't think that happens.
My understanding of C ends there, and i was unable to see where Alsa
called pulseaudio. Hope this helps someone.
The file shm.c could be a part of the packate tendra, which a free C/C++
compiler built around the TDF/ANDF format
which provides strict conformance checks for a range of APIs. Among those
currently supported are ANSI and ISO C, POSIX 1 2, System V, Unix95, XPG3 and
XPG4.
It doesn't sound relevant to the bug.

I'm affected by the bug, using Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.0.10. adobe- flashplugin is not in my repositories. Where is it? I don't have any *flashplugin* package installed (yet), still I can play flash, until Firefox crashes after 2-3 seconds. How does that work?
