I am working on monitors to module-null-sinks and when unloading the module-suspend-on-idle after creation of the null-sink I get a monitor device that's started suspended. After calling: pa_context_suspend_source_by_index(pa_stream_get_context(s), pa_stream_get_index(s), 0, pulseaudio_resume_callback, userdata); the callback function reports failure. I am using pulseaudio 0.9.10 on a fedora 9 machine. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
