I also hit this particular bug. I paused Rhythmbox yesterday before I went to bed, came back from work just now, and everything using audio hangs (Rhythmbox and Firefox/Flash). The pulseaudio daemon is still running, but it does not accept connections. There is nothing pulseaudio-related printed in syslog or ~/.xsession-errors. $ pulseaudio -k does not work, it is unable to kill the running daemon.
$ kill -term `pidof pulseaudio` does not work. $ kill -9 `pidof pulseaudio` does the trick. Starting up pulseaudio again by running pulse-session works, without having to log out and back in. -- PulseAudio fails when Gstreamer is paused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221038 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
