> A secondary problem, which might be an unfixable design choice, is that it sounds like PulseAudio clients can block the sound of the entire server.
If that's unfixable, then perhaps it makes sense to remove this behavior from clients which are bundled with Ubuntu, such as Nautilus. They don't have to block the sound of the entire server, right? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852018 Title: Audio Stops Playing Briefly When Emptying Trash Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 19.10 and encountered this issue. I had a podcast playing in the background on Firefox v. 70.0.1 and I was deleting some files. I then proceeded to empty the trash and saw that the audio stops briefly till the "Empty all items from Trash?" prompt shows up. I was able to duplicate this many times and it even occurred with audio on Chrome. The expected way for things to work would be the audio keeps on playing, if I just empty the trash.
