Greetings all,
I have been using Pulseaudio 0.9.14 mostly without incident on my
multi-room audio setup, when switching to 0.9.15, my audio recording
system suspends the audio source and never unsuspends it.
Setup on that system:
-- Digital audio input into ALSA card.
-- ALSA source created to get the input stream.
-- 'module-rtp-send' connected to that source.
The symptom:
-- The sound (music in this case) plays for about 3-4 seconds
-- It then suspends the source, and never comes out of the suspended
state!
Clearly this is broken behavior.
When looking through the code in 'module-rtp-send.c', I see the following:
pa_source_output_new(&o, m->core, &data, PA_SOURCE_OUTPUT_DONT_INHIBIT_AUTO_SUSPEND);
Now, I'm thinking of just removing that line in 'module-rtp-send.c',
but the real questions are:
Why is that code there in the first place? It clearly breaks my
case of using an audio source.
Is the real problem that "module-alsa-source" should not be treating
this as an auto-suspend? (I.e. it really should be transmitting
forever)
It would be nice to have some feedback on the intended design issue
here so I can produce at least a relatively correct patch for the list.
