Description Donald Cohen 2011-03-17 22:49:33 UTC

Description of problem:
For some time now when I try to run virtualbox I get complaints about selinux, which I have set to permissive.  Perhaps that's a problem with selinux rather
than pulseaudio.  However occasionally, like today, I see the load average grow
and the machine become unresponsive.  I finally rebooted and I see in the log, around that same time:
Mar 17 14:02:48 number11 pulseaudio[1799]: ratelimit.c: 406 events suppressed
Mar 17 14:03:35 number11 pulseaudio[1799]: ratelimit.c: 562 events suppressed

There's no other mention of pulseaudio in the log, so no idea what events these are that are being suppressed.
I don't really mind that these lines show up in the log.  What I really mind is the machine becoming unresponsive.  I only hope that this happens due to some bug that can be fixed.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 14:06:07 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
