I see strange behaviour after the following sequence of commands: First I load a pipe-sink using this command. pactl load-module module-pipe-sink file=/tmp/sound1 The stats for the sink is: *** Sink #3 *** Name: fifo_output Driver: modules/module-pipe-sink.c Description: Unix FIFO sink '/tmp/sound1' Sample Specification: s16le 2ch 44100Hz Channel Map: front-left,front-right Owner Module: 14 Volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% Monitor Source: 4 Latency: 0 usec Flags: LATENCY Then in one window I start copying from the sink to a file cat /tmp/sound >sound.tmp In another window I run vlc on a file containing music. PULSE_SINK=fifo_output vlc test.flv The file sound.tmp starts to grow far too fast, reaching 1GB after around 1 min. With CD samplerate and resolution this is nearly two orders of magnitude too fast. I have been testing this on Fedora 9 using x86_64 architecture, and on Ubuntu both on i686 and x86_64. The problem seems to be present in all tested configurations. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
