My scenario is similar to the one described in ticket 314, <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/314> but my problem is subtly different, so I'll plead my case here rather than generate noise on that ticket. Setting the initial volume in pa_stream_connect_playback() works fine. From there on, whenever the app needs to change volume, I use pa_stream_get_index() to get the sink index, then pa_context_set_sink_volume_by_index() to set the volume. First time through, the sink index comes up as 0, and everything works nicely. Then the application exits playback mode. The stream and context appear to be disconnecting correctly. Next time the app enters playback, the sink index has been incremented, hence it's invalid. It increments each time you exit and re-enter playback. The obvious question is, am I really shutting down the stream correctly? I think so, but I'm still scouring through that stuff. Meanwhile it's a very odd problem ... anyone have any thoughts/suggestions? cheers, Cal
