Hello: I use pulseaudio's parec to record an audio stream played in a browser. I use openSUSE 15.1 with its default pulseaudio version pulseaudio-11.1-lp151.5.3. This is what I do: load null sink: pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=stream I move the firefox browser sound to null output in pavucontrol GUI. I record the stream with parec: parec -d stream.monitor --file-format out.wav This works well. But I also want to switch between two user's desktop. User1 is on VT7, user2 is on VT8. I start to record on VT8, then I switch to VT7; the record is OK. But when I switch back to VT8, the record gets a short interrupt (pause), which is annoying. An image of the waveform showing the short pause in the can be seen here: https://paste.opensuse.org/85986435 How could I fix this, to get an uninterrupted recording? Thanks in advance, suseuser04
