I've noticed a number of times on my Ubuntu Intrepid machine that Pidgin seems to get it's pulseaudio connection hung up. Normally I only see a listing in the Volume Control applet for pidgin for the brief time it takes to send whatever short sound alert it wants to send.
Every now and then though I will see an entry in it for Pidgin that doesn't go away, yet there is no currently playing sound and no more sounds will come through from pidgin until I restart it, to release the hung up stream. Anyone seen this or know why it happens, or if there is a less intrusive way than restarting pidgin, to have it's stream reset? Terminate Stream will make it go away, but pulseaudio will still not receive (or play) any more sounds from pidgin until it's restarted. Thanx, b. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
