Entity Killed

[avuton]

I brought this to the attention to some folks on #pulseaudio today, they said this is probably a alsa problem. I can't continue to run this server like this, it hasn't reproduced yet, but I'm guessing it will after suspending sometime. I don't have it unloading ALSA at all during the suspend, I'm just guessing that this is the problem. Is there any way to work around this problem?

Server side: (mpd-0.12.0) Oct 02 09:35 : PulseAudio output "Trish's Computer" disconnecting due to write error: Entity killed

Client side: (pulseaudio 0.9.5) alsa-util.c: device doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz. module-alsa-sink.c: snd_pcm_writei() failed: Streams pipe error protocol-native.c: client sent block for invalid stream.

This happened after a day or so of being up. After resetting pulseaudio everything worked again. Leads me to believe this is a pulseaudio bug, but I'm not sure.

OK, it duplicated with spades, let me know please if any other info is needed.

You still seeing this? Could you try getting a dump where the formatting will be readable? (See Trac's formatting guide).

Sorry, didn't realize this ticket still existed (I don't think it sent me a mail of reply). My wife was using openSUSE 10.1, which ime is very broken in many ways. I've since moved her off of there and I'll assume that's the reason this was happening. Thanks.
