Description ben thompson 2011-05-05 20:36:26 UTC
Description of problem:
When playing a video as network stream in vlc (possibly other players) and pausing the pc freezes and /var/log/messages gets filled with line similar to the following:
*text missing* pulseaudio[2632]: ratelimit.c: 6987 events suppressed


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pulseaudio 0.9.21

VLC media player 1.1.9 The Luggage (revision exported)
VLC version 1.1.9 The Luggage (exported)
Compiled by mockbuild on hephaestus.wilsonet.com (Apr 12 2011 15:36:27)
Compiler: gcc version 4.4.5 20101112 (Red Hat 4.4.5-2) (GCC) 


How reproducible:
Happened twice, doing the same thing, so would expect further crashes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. vlc ftp://ftp.ccc.de/congress/2010/mp4-h264-HQ/27c3-4302-en-27c3_keynote_we_come_in_peace.mp4
2. let it play a bit, the pause it, and wait for pc to freeze (I was on the phone both times so don't know if it happened instantly, but within two minute)


Actual results:
pc freezes, ie mouse doesn't move, keyboard is rendered useless etc


Expected results:
not to crash and to be able to play and pause in vlc


Additional info:
Recently updated the following packages related to bug:
May  2 14:43:57 ben yum[6821]: Updated: vlc-core-1.1.9-1.fc13.x86_64
May  2 14:44:31 ben yum[6821]: Updated: vlc-1.1.9-1.fc13.x86_64

The ftp server resolved to an ipv6 address therefore was going through the 6over4 tunnel if that makes any difference.

Right, close this, it's to do wit VLC, will file bug accordingly.
