set-default-sink with wrong sink name fatal even when in .nofail section

[pixelpapst]

Hi all, my default.pa ends like this:

.nofail
set-default-sink alsa_output.pci_1274_5880_alsa_playback_0

Now, after upgrade to 0.9.8, for some reason module-detect-hal loads the oss driver instead of alsa, so the sink name is different. However, the deamon aborts after ~1 sec. with:

E: main.c: daemon/main.c : Fatal error. Default sink name (alsa_output.pci_1274_5880_alsa_playback_0) does not exist in name register.

I would expect only a warning here. From the short delay and error message I assume that the name is cached and only looked up later - at which point the missing sink is fatal.

IMHO it would be better to implement some non-fatal error behaviour, since I also load module-rescue-streams for such occasions. :)

Please run PA with -vv and paste what the output immediately preceding the line you pasted is.

Fixed in r2187.
