Re: pulseaudio and gtk events issues

I can't tell you what you're specific issue is (as I'm running fbsd), but recently I spent months chasing a bug in my own app, which ended up being a thread related bug in pulseaudio, so you might be right there. I too had to disable window and button sounds. It appeared the gdk lock wasn't handled properly in pulseaudio. This was solved by upgrading the pa release.

Hi,

I'm trying to debug a gtk app on Ubuntu Karmic that crashes from time to time when I open a dialog. Lately, I have found a precise sequence of UI actions that always reproduces the bug (I open a dialog, pick an option, click or enter ok, then re-open the dialog.) But many other
sequences crash my app too. And I always get this error:

Assertion 'pthread_setspecific(t->key, userdata) == 0' failed at pulsecore/thread-posic.c:200,
function pa_tls_set(). Aborting.

So my app seems to crash because an error in pulseaudio, which is strange. I made some google searches and apparently, this problem exists with other apps (Abiword, Flash support in Firefox, Gimp, ...) Then, following a suggestion in a bug report, I opened 'sound-preferences' and disabled
'window and button sounds'. And then, no more crashes, ever.

I've already posted on this list about the problem and I don't want to spam. But I've been re- checking my sources many times since last month, unsuccessfully. Then my app used to be very stable a couple of months ago and I have checked all the last changes I have made lately. So the question is: could all this relate to an upgrade to Karmic or a newer version of pulseaudio?

I know that gtk handles events from windows and buttons and so does pulseaudio. Could it possibly be a bug in pulseaudio on ubuntu (instead of in my app?) Does anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Thanks in advance for any clue.
