If PA finds not other sound card it uses the NULL driver, which is not very well tested and hist that assert. *** Bug 470277 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 472757 *** I saw this same assertion yesterday when I broke away from X to a VT and back again, as per bug 468969 Presumably there's a race where pulseaudio goes too quickly when coming back into X and finds the NULL driver. It's a very infrequent problem, this is just an FYI. I agree with the poster in 468969 though - it would be nice if pulseaudio were either crash-proof or restarted itself - could it be made so that: pulseaudio - forks and watches child, restarts if it dies \- pulseaudio - actual sound-processing child |
Description of problem: OK, I'm trying something, ANYTHING, to getting jack working with timidity. I've already submitted a bug for that. So i tried to use fluidsynth. Installed fluidsynth. Start it up. It starts jack. Yay. But it won't connect to pulseaudio. Now, when I really hated pulseaudio (still not a fan of it) and didn't need it, it started with my X server. But now, no such luck. So I kill jackd and lashd (guess what, it won't start while jack is running). Start pulseaudio. Then start fluidsynth. It starts jack, tries to connect to pulseaudio, and pulseaudio gives me a nice, fat assertion error. Now you can't tell me THIS isn't a bug, because 100% of the time, if something triggers an assertion error, it's a *bug*. The assertion error is: >E: sink_input.c: Assertion "i->thread_info.rewrite_nbytes == 0' failed at pulsecore/sink-input.c:1150, function pa_sink_input_request_rewind(). Aborting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.13-6 How reproducible: Allllways. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start pulseaudio 2. Start fluidsynth 3. Watch the fur fly. Actual results: Nothing happens except for a nice assertion error. Expected results: Sound comes out of the speakers. Additional info:
