pulseaudio doesn't play sound for short audio streams

gcc -g pulse-audio-alsa-threaded.c -o pulse-audio-alsa-threaded -I/usr/include/alsa -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -lasound -lglib-2.0

./pulse-audio-alsa-threaded

raw audio stream file

apparently, mplayer has the same problem trying to play the original mp3 file (I'll attach that in a sec) - sometimes it works, but it is hit-or-miss

Hmm, indeed. The start() command of the pulse ioplug is missing a pa_stream_trigger() call. Easy to fix. Will post a patch to alsa-devel shortly.

This is kind of dirty however, since the ALSA in this respect doesn't really map to the PA API. But I guess we have to live with that.

This should fix your issue.

I'd be very thankful if you could test this patch! I did some local testing, but would be thankful for your testing results as well.

Closing since this got merged upstream and apparently fixes the problem.
