There are two separate issues here. First is the issue of pulseaudio crashing. I would imagine this is happening for a variety of reasons, and each should have its own bug report. Second, the issue of rhythmbox locking up when pulseaudio dies. This should not happen. I don't know if the fault lies in the gstreamer-pulseaudio plugin or in rhythmbox itself. In cases where pulse dies, rhythmbox should have a way to detect this and simply abort, ideally just pausing the currently played song. That way, upon restarting pulseaudio, you could hit play in rhythmbox to resume where you left off, instead of having to kill it. I therefore propose this bug be moved to the rhythmbox package, otherwise this report should be isolated to a specific instance of pulseaudio crashing and we need a separate bug report for rhythmbox.
Do other players using gstreamer-pulseaudio respond in the same way when pulseaudio dies? -- rhythmbox freezes after playing for an hour or more and locks all sound until reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
