Description Thomas J. Baker 2007-09-25 20:18:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

Music plays fine until pulseaudio logs the following error:

Sep 25 16:09:08 raptor pulseaudio[7708]: protocol-native.c: client sent block
for invalid stream.

Then all sound is hung. Rhythmbox gets hung and has to be killed. Restarting it
doesn't work. Killing pulseaudio and restarting and makes sound work again. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

pulseaudio-0.9.7-0.12.svn20070925.fc8.x86_64

How reproducible:

Happens randomly.

I don't know if this is a rhythmbox problem or a pulseaudio one. I'll see if it
happens with banshee.
Comment 1 Thomas J. Baker 2007-09-25 20:22:42 UTC 
Clarification:

After the error message, killing and restarting rhythmbox doesn't fix it. Going
to the Preferences->Hardware->Sound and clicking any of the test buttons gives a
gstreamer pipe error. Killing and restarting pulseaudio fixes everything.
Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2007-09-25 20:40:03 UTC 
Hmm, this looks as if some error cause the alsa sink plugin to be unloaded in PA.

Could you please run "pulseaudio -vv" in a terminal and paste its output when
this happens again?

And, after this happened, does the output device still appear in pavucontrol.

Here's my -vv log and no, there is no output device in pavucontrol after this
happens.

I have this problem also, last time it happened with totem. pulseaudio -k and
pulseaudio -D fixes the problem (for a while)...
Comment 6 Ryan James 2007-09-30 09:35:35 UTC 
This also happens to me.  It has happened while using rhythmbox, exaile, and
mplayer.

This is fixed in the new snapshot I uploaded on friday, which is also available
in test3.
