By "dumping", do you mean discarding the data? If so, wouldn't it work if you would call pa_stream_read() on "Reset" and just throw away that data? That way the client-side buffer would be emptied. You could call pa_stream_flush() prior to that, if you think flushing also the server-side data is in some way useful. -- Tanu
