#797: PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Too large" --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dj_segfault | Owner: lennart Type: defect | Status: new Milestone: | Component: daemon Keywords: alsa pcm_pulse too large | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I have been frustrated with sound failures for as long as pulseaudio has been a part of Linux, and I'm trying my best to diagnose problems. In Ubuntu 9.10, I'm finding that when some apps run, no other app can output sound, and they just freeze. If I am running mythtvfrontend, and try to play a video from gnome-terminal, the video doesn't even start. When I exit mythtvfrontend, the video starts. If I play a streamed Flash movie in Firefox, most of the time any app that tries to output sound after it will be silent, and eventually sound won't work from Flash either.
I tried running firefox in debug mode, and saw some interesting output. The relevant portion is HUNDREDS of lines saying "ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:724:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Too large". I searched the PA bug database and didn't find that phrase in any existing bugs. I did see mention of it in Fedora [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554568] -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/797> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
