Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.15-4.1 Severity: normal Since I experience glitches in the sound output while using Rhythmbox, I set realtime-scheduling = yes in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. My user is part of the pulse-rt group. However, when the gnome session starts pulseaudio, it cannot get real-time privileges. This is the relevant line from /var/log/daemon.log:
pulseaudio[18487]: main.c: RLIMIT_RTPRIO failed: Operation not permitted However, If I manually set the pulseaudio process scehduling priority to realtime using chrt as root, I observe no improvements: I still hear occasional glitches in the sound output. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages pulseaudio depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.3.0-3 framework for defining and trackin ii libasound2 1.0.20-3 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libasyncns0 0.3-1 Asyncronous name service query lib ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcap2 1:2.16-5 support for getting/setting POSIX. ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libflac8 1.2.1-2+b1 Free Lossless Audio Codec - runtim ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-6 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libhal1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libice6 2:1.0.5-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libltdl7 2.2.6a-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libogg0 1.1.4~dfsg-1 Ogg bitstream library ii liboil0.3 0.3.16-1 Library of Optimized Inner Loops ii libpolkit-db 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit vi ii libpolkit2 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libpulse0 0.9.15-4.1 PulseAudio client libraries ii libsamplerat 0.1.7-2 audio rate conversion library ii libsm6 2:1.1.0-2 X11 Session Management library ii libsndfile1 1.0.18-2 Library for reading/writing audio ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1-1 The Speex extended runtime library ii libvorbis0a 1.2.0.dfsg-5+b1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libvorbisenc 1.2.0.dfsg-5+b1 The Vorbis General Audio Compressi ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages pulseaudio recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio 0.10.15-2 GStreamer plugin for PulseAudio ii libasound2-plugins 1.0.20-1 ALSA library additional plugins ii pulseaudio-esound-compat 0.9.15-4.1 PulseAudio ESD compatibility layer ii pulseaudio-module-hal 0.9.15-4.1 HAL device detection module for Pu ii pulseaudio-module-x11 0.9.15-4.1 X11 module for PulseAudio sound se Versions of packages pulseaudio suggests: pn paman <none> (no description available) pn paprefs <none> (no description available) ii pavucontrol 0.9.8-1 PulseAudio Volume Control pn pavumeter <none> (no description available) ii pulseaudio-utils 0.9.15-4.1 Command line tools for the PulseAu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
