Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Sometimes, pulseaudio quits. I have started pulseaudio in a terminal and watch Dr. House in totem :-) Some movies later, it suddenly brought this message and terminated: I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. W: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting. W: alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "Mic" or mixer control is no combination of switch/volume. E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail_update() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 16140901064495854976 bytes (384307168188 ms) Most likely this is a Linux bug. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. Soft CPU time limit exhausted, terminating. Hard CPU time limit exhausted, terminating forcibly. Aborted After that I started it again and all was ok. This problem is reproduceable. In my case I only remeber that I got a phone call and pressed the space bar in totem. While this phone call, the CD-ROM spin down. When the call was over, I pressed space again, and totem hang and pulseaudio quit. It is on latest Jaunty amd64 lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
