seeing the same thing with 13.2 packages on i386f
Seeing the same thing here, although I do see some I: module-alsa-source.c: Overrun! as well, every 8 to 20 lines of I: memblock.c: Pool full
I: memblock.c: Pool full Is this informational message actually a problem ? Is this a blocker ?
THe end result is that pulseaudio exits. I believe that isn't the expected result. I'm not sure if the "memblock.c: Pool full" contributes to the failure, or if it's informational.
Having the "pool full" message appear 10 times a second, and "Overrun" messages in between, and then having pulseaudio exit... I'd think the messages themselves are not a problem, but something within pulseaudio is going wrong and the messages are indicating what that might be.
The pool full message is usually a sign that some client doesn't unref the data blocks it read from PA quickly enough.
I think this is simply another duplicate of 462200. At least I assume that "pulseaudio exits" refers to the CPU load limiter. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 462200 ***
