This should not matter. Are you using pulseaudio as the audio backend for VLC, or are you using ALSA/OSS/etc instead? > So it's the size of WHAT? And the connection of WHAT TO WHAT? I would think this is an error message triggered when the application (Totem) queries the pulseaudio daemon for the audio buffer size and doesn't receive a satisfactory reply (possibly because of a timeout), which terminates the connection between pulseaudio and the application. This error message is clearly not directed to end users anyway, probably because it was thought to be a technical problem which shouldn't occur at all (but of course needed to be handled to make totem crash-proof). In any case Totem's error message couldn't possibly diagnose every pulseaudio problem correctly. I must insist on the rt kernel + rtkit issue, since I never get this problem with the generic kernel. I'll re-pose my previous question: does everyone here who use the generic kernel have rtkit installed? Any ideas from devs on how to determine whether rtkit is working properly? -- Mediaplayer crashed with "pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496616 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
