Hi, I was trying to debug a deadlock while using gvim (with libcanberra+pulse output: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=44925) I had reason to read the threaded loop docs. The reference implementation shown here: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/pulseaudio/doxygen/threaded_mainloop.html#basic_subsec In my mind, the operation could theoretically be cancelled and this the _get_state() will return PA_OPERATION_CANCELLED. In the example code, if this happens, the loop will spin and the main loop will never be unlocked. This could be fixed by spinning when the state is PA_OPERATION_RUNNING rather when it is not PA_OPERATION_DONE (incidentally, there is a typo in the docs... it says OPERATION_RUNNING without the PA_ prefix...). Anyway, any comments on this observation would be appreciated.
