Re: [Gwc-general] Odd error (only every other time I playback) using gwc with pulseaudio on ubuntu 12.10

[jeff w. <we...@ya...>]

Hi Chris,

I think John Cirillo was on the right track, sort of.  But I think also the way GWC connect to pulse audio might have a bug.  I hadn't compiled and run gwc for a while, and I just did on my Fedora Core 17 machine, running the gnome window manager.

With nothing else running, I have no problems with playback.

But, if I crank up a streaming application (like grooveshark), in firefox, I get the same problem you have described, play only works every other time.

If I get a chance, I'll poke around at the pulse audio code for GWC.  When I imlemented it pulse audio was still pretty young so I didn't work too hard at it.  Maybe there is an error return that the code can sense and attempt a reconnect to the audio driver automatically instead of just failing and popping up the error dialog.

Thanks for trying GWC and especially thanks for reporting the problem!

Cheers,
Jeff

OK, thanks for looking anyway.
