#194: $PULSE_SERVER: permanent loss of audio in client when facing a transient network problem (networking / virtualization) --+- Reporter: peter| Owner: lennart Type: enhancement | Status: new Milestone: | Component: clients Resolution: |Keywords: network virtual --+- Comment(by coling): @gauss: Just don't talk directly to the remote side. Always create a local PA daemon even if there is no physical h/w. Pulseaudio automatically loads a Null sink when no real hardware is present (I could easily make it do the same with sources if there were a null source module!). By always talking to the local PA daemon there is a much reduced likelihood of any problems. You can then load a tunnel sink to the remote machine and output to the right place as you desire. If there are any network issues, the sink will unload (TCP connection broken) and the auto- null sink will kick in (i.e. exactly what you suggest). -- Ticket URL: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/194#comment:4 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

This seems fundamentally wrong: why not just fix the crashes? And I really don't think that PA itself crashes very often anyway. I've not seen any crash related tickets for a long time. If you have any back traces available, I'll be happy to take a look, but without some kind of information about the crashes you refer to, there is little we can do to help fix them. Now some kind of auto-reconnect logic is not necessarily a bad idea (I would find it useful when debugging) but this is really something up to the individual clients to implement. I've implemented such features in the various clients I've written, so really other clients need to do the same. -- Ticket URL: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/194#comment:6 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets

Maybe just make sound go /dev/null until connection is established by default and let app override this behavior if needed? This is definitely need to fix. -- Ticket URL: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/194#comment:3 PulseAudio http://pulseaudio.org/ The PulseAudio Sound Server ___ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
