That sounds like a problem with alsa, that it doesn't suspend the device properly: pulseaudio suspends the device when it is no longer using it. You can test this hipothesis by disabling the module suspend-on-idle. You can do that by commenting the relevant line in /etc/pulse/default.pa and restarting pulseaudio: pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio --start Without the modifications to default.pa, could you please post the output of "pactl list"? Also without modification, if you could get a full log it would be great too: pulseaudio -k; pulseaudio -vvvv --log-time --log-target=file:pa.log -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-pulseaudio-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-pulseaudio-devel
