thaks Rémi. Here's some more data.
Failure occurs on both mp3 and ogg, and today I found it is the same on
a commercial DVD -- sound stops 1:29 into episode (but video continues
perfectly). I've had this setup working perfectly in all Ubuntu
releases since Intrepid Ibex, but it stopped recently, perhaps after I
installed Maverick (not sure when it stopped, though)
1) also today, discovered a work around: change default audio output
settings in preferences from Alsa to OSS, and now it appears to be fine.
Maybe I broke it myself earlier? but why would it stop so repeatably at
1:29?
2) issued "pulseaudio -kill" and checked it was gone with "ps -aef", set
VLS back to ALSA, but the problem returns.
3) tried to get a log file (this doesn't seem to work), and turned up the
verbosity. The timing error messages "main audio output warning" started at
about the time the sound stopped, and would have continued except that I
stopped it.
How do I get a "debug log"?
