Hi,
I'd like some help debugging pulseaudio, please. Since upgrading my
Fedora 9 install to the latest 2.6.26 kernels, pulseaudio is forever
shutting down for what appears to be no reason. This does not happen on
2.6.25 kernels. What's interesting is this does not appear to be ALSA,
issue per se, or at least sending audio directly to ALSA works fine and
does not cause problems, it's only pulseuadio that is not happy.
I have attached a log of pulseaudio -vvvv. Audio was playing from
Amarok, using Xine pulseaudio plugin. After period of time, CPU goes
100% on one of the four cores and pulseaudio shuts down. I would
appreciate it if someone could take a look at the log and provide
instructions if further logging or debugging is required.
