Description of problem: When playing video or audio files at some point the application hangs. Mplayer hangs with no output, xine hangs, rhythmbox stops playing and Totem displays an error and hangs, totems error is "Error: Disconnected: Connection terminated" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio 0.9.15-test7 (with previous versions i didn't have that issue) How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: Play any multimedia file with any application. Actual results: The application hangs. Additional info: Full Error feedback from totem ran with option "--debug" : [luckis@pc ~]$ totem --debug I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges. I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gdata/tlslite/utils/cryptomath.py:9: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead import sha ** Message: Error: Disconnected: Connection terminated pulsesink.c(451): gst_pulsesink_is_dead (): /GstPlayBin:play/GstBin:abin/GstBin:audiosinkbin/GstPulseSink:audio-sink I am not sure if a backtrace would be useful if it is please ask for one and i will be more than happy to get it, now from pulseaudio or totem or whatever is on your judgement. Thanks.
I also have similar problems with this in addition once the disconnected error hits even the system-config-sound tool craps out saying waiting for sound system which aparently is never ready. a reboot fixes this temporarily.
here is my current alsa-info output http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=069543c9bd0db9e08e80cefb66fe64fb07858862
These errors are outputed in the terminal when running pulseaudio in verbose mode when it crashes E: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 4293883140 bytes (8113913 ms).

Andrew, your issue is already reported as bug 472339. Luckis, could you please run PA in verbose mode on a terminal? Most likely your issue too is either 472339 or 485734.

Most likely your > issue too is either 472339 or 485734. Ok i did and i think it is related to both alsa and pulseaudio, here is the output: D: alsa-sink.c: Wakeup from ALSA!

No need for that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 472339 ***
