Description of problem: gajim may hang while playing sound by executing aplay. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gajim-0.15-0.4.beta4.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Frequently on my machine. Have to check it on some other. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install gajim-0.14 and start using it 2. upgrade it to gajim-0.15 3. Actual results: it starts hanging randomly, ps axu shows that process is stopped and it's child process aplay is stopped too. Killing them with CONT signal in the loop helps to continue using gajim. Expected results: Non-stop working Additional info: Workaround: sed -i '/ = aplay.*/ = paplay/' .config/gajim/config pkill gajim ; gajim &
I don't know what could be sending the processes a SIGSTOP. Does aplay work normally on your system when used outside of Gajim? Try it with the wav files in /usr/share/gajim/data/sounds. Maybe try playing them in loops and in parallel. See if you start seeing hangs there too.
I played a little with aplay. It does play with no hangs, but has a strange delay at the end of playing. vashik@pooh:~$ time sh -c 'for i in 1 2 3 ;do paplay /usr/share/gajim/data/sounds/message1.wav ;done' real 0m5.872s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.011s vashik@pooh:~$ time sh -c 'for i in 1 2 3 ;do aplay -q /usr/share/gajim/data/sounds/message1.wav ;done' real 0m8.560s user 0m0.013s sys 0m0.017s

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
