In my case, syslog is going crazy with these lines being output multiple times per second:
Mar 26 13:46:20 europa pulseaudio[20254]: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "sink_name=M2496_out device=hw:M2496 format=s32le channels=10 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7"): initialization failed.

Mar 26 13:46:20 europa pulseaudio[20252]: main.c: Daemon startup failed. Mar 26 13:46:20 europa rtkit-daemon[1326]: Warning: Reached burst limit for user '1000', denying request. Mar 26 13:46:20 europa rtkit-daemon[1326]: last message repeated 14 times Based on this, I now wonder whether this also shows buggy behaviour in PulseAudio. In any case, I don't believe that PulseAudio should be asked to spawn repeatedly when it's failing to load. -- policykit cause high dbus-daemon cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426556 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
