www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.32.18, media-video/totem-2.26.3-r1 don't appear in the list of programms in the gnome sound settings. The sound of these programms is blocked when another programm that works in the right way plays sound. (vlc or audacious with pulse audio output plugin). If I play sound with one of the wrong working programms first they block sound of pulseaudio. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: adobe-flash blocks pulseadio 1. Play a youtube video in firefox 2. Start a programm wihich appears in the gnome sound settings 3. This programm plays no sound or is blocked pulseaudio blocks adobe-flash 1. Start a programm that appear in the gnome sound settings 2. Start firefox and a youtube video 3. the video will not play sound 4. stopping firefox, it may freeze after closing window emerge --info pulseaudio Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.30-gentoo-r5-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Quad_CPU_Q8200_@_2.33GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.11.1 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:45:02 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.0_p28 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.8-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.6.2-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/lib/latex2html /usr/share/texmf-site/tex/latex/html /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ ftp://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 berkdb branding bzip2 cairo cdda cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cupsddk dbus dri dts dvd dvdr dvi eds emboss encode evo exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gimp gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg latex libnotify lm_sensors lyx mad midi mikmod mmx modules mono mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib nautilus ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd pulseaudio python qt3support quicktime readline reflection scanner sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg symlink sysfs tcpd theora thunar tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis wmf x264 xinerama xml xorg xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.15-r2 was built with the following: USE="X alsa asyncns caps dbus glib gnome hal (multilib) tcpd -avahi -bluetooth -jack -libsamplerate -lirc -oss -test" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -UNDEBUG" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -UNDEBUG" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--no-as-needed"
If you switch all audio programms to alsa output then you don't have that problem. I don't think, this is the right behavior.
Hum. I think we need a newer libcanberra stable. Could you try to upgrade it to 0.17 (latest ~arch) ?
(In reply to comment #2) > Hum. I think we need a newer libcanberra stable. Could you try to upgrade it to > 0.17 (latest ~arch) ? I just tried 0.17. That doesn't change anything. BTW: libcanberra-0.11 doesn't have a pulseaudio use flag.
adding sound to CC since I've got basically no clue with PA
Does your ~/.asoundrc look like; cat ~/.asoundrc pcm.!default { type pulse } ctl.!default { type pulse }

Should we put media-plugins/alsa-plugins into the dependencies of gnome-base/gnome-2.26xx or media-sound/pulseaudio?
I tried to create a /etc/asound.conf for system wide configuration. This does not work. You would not have sound until you locked on gnome, because pulseaudio don't work until gnome is started.
Is this still an issue with newer pulseaudio and/or gnome-2.28?
(In reply to comment #8) > Is this still an issue with newer pulseaudio and/or gnome-2.28? > I can't test that. I switched back to alsa and uninstalled pulseaudio.
(In reply to comment #9) > I can't test that. I switched back to alsa and uninstalled pulseaudio. > Alright, feel free to reopen if you decide to install pulseaudio again and have problems. Thanks.
