Slow playback via gst-pulse when pulseaudio server hung

Reported by: pkgw Owned by: lennart
Milestone: Component: gst-pulse

Description

I was trying to play an ogg video, specifically the one at http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2008/Thu/mel8-178.ogg , in Totem on my Fedora 8 laptop. At first I thought that it wasn't playing at all, but then I realized that the file was just playing extremely slowly, say at 1.5 seconds per frame.

I had been doing this after I brought my laptop back from suspend-to-disk, which often causes my pulseaudio server to lock up in some way. I tried restarting my pulse server, and after that the video played back ok. (When the pulseaudio server is locked up, the process is still there, but e.g. 'paplay /path/to/some.wav' will give a 'Connection refused' error.)

I was told that this was most likely a bug in the pulseaudio GStreamer sink, so I'm filing a bug here.

This is an issue in the ALSA driver which doesn't restart the audio playback properly after resume. Please file a bug to ALSA upstream.

If it turns out that this is not an ALSA issue but indeed is PA's fault (which I however think is very unlikely), then feel free to reopen.
