Yes, I do believe it's the same PA instance, I had not noticed it restarting (e.g. pavucontrol losing the connection) when testing around this bug.
Also, I'm not sure if it helps, but the module likes to spam a ton of pulseaudio[11451]: E: [pulseaudio] module-snap-policy.c: AppArmor profile could not be retrieved. pulseaudio[11451]: E: [pulseaudio] module-snap-policy.c: AppArmor profile could not be retrieved. pulseaudio[11451]: E: [pulseaudio] module-snap-policy.c: AppArmor profile could not be retrieved. pulseaudio[11451]: E: [pulseaudio] module-snap-policy.c: AppArmor profile could not be retrieved. into the log even when *not* running as a snap. I don't know if this is related as I've found it to be harmless to the functionality of my programm when running outside snaps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886854 Title: Race in load-module snap policy check in classic confinement To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1886854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
