Originally pointed out by Georg Chini. Calculating buffer = buffer + (send_counter - recv_counter) in one branch and buffer = 2 * buffer - (recv_counter - send_counter) looks very obviously wrong. In other words, before the patch, the contribution from the previous lines was double-counted. --- src/modules/module-loopback.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) This is a resend of http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/22951 and http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.pulseaudio.general/22913 No Signed-off-by line, because the original patch by Georg Chini did not have one.
