ALSA gets stuck
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2013 9:00 pm
He everyone, again here...
Im trying very hard to make Pulseaudio work via network. There are problems.
As of debug process, tried to test pulseaudio&alsa on localhost (rpi).
Test consists of starting pulseaudio then let mplayer play some stream via pulse.
Things I have observed: mplayer can't play stream via pulse when pulse is stasrted in verbose mode. It is able to when its started normally (user mode), but then I don't see what's happening to pulse.
Problems starts when pulse is started, mplayer is streaming and volume is being adjusted.
start pulse:
start mplayer via pulse:
then, when I open alsamixer in another terminal window and start to adjust volume, mplayer responds like this:
at first, I get just one such a line and playback is continuing but after more adjustments, stream got stucked and massage is repeated endlessly in cycle. Also alsamixer is very unresponsible. It takes about 2min to lower the master channel to 0% and then the same to 100%. Weird. LAN have good speed and response too. (Running on edimag wifi dongle).
When I, using RPI as pulse server, Im able to stream for a while but when Im adjusting volume on client I ran into similar situation. XMMS just gets stucked and only way is to kill pulseaudio on server.
I have tied multiple configurations of daemon.conf which I found on internet, but none of this working.
Can you give ma a hand please?
Thank you!
