So to recap a little on the fighting rewinds issue - the one that makes pulseaudio crash due to spending too much time in RT prio, and with the pulseaudio log filled with rewinds. A month ago I provided five patches in total, two in gstreamer[1] and three in pulseaudio. GStreamer #1: we have the "don't start the stream until we have written some samples" - this fix is in gstreamer HEAD, committed by Wim Taymans. GStreamer #2: send larger packages by removing a strange limit to gstreamer's "segment size". This fix has been posted to the gstreamer-devel mailinglist, but not committed AFAIK. I'm attaching a version of the patch which has proper git headers and against git head. Both GStreamer fixes have recently been uploaded to Ubuntu Natty, the development version of Ubuntu. PulseAudio #1 and #2: I believe these should be applied to PulseAudio upstream. PulseAudio #3: A person with alias h31 helped out here, and noticed this patch was the one causing a regression in Skype. While I haven't exactly figured out why, I do notice that this patch could cause problems for very short samples. So let's drop this one for the time being. For reference I resend the three patches (one in GStreamer, two in pulseaudio) that I would like to see applied. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic [1] Well, Wim Taymans has some credit for the helping out with the first one. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
