I have one confirmation on this bug. My friend have experienced this bug several times since his upgrade to hardy. For him it usually happens when he tries to start firefox. This bug is quite critical for him, because he's a non-technical person and this bug prevents graphical system shutdown, so he has been forced to do cold boots on his machine.
I'm going to change status to confirmed. Hopefully now this bug gains the attention it certainly deserves. @Chen: I'm not quite sure how to check interaction with native ALSA apps. All I can say is that there is no sound coming from already running applications. ** Changed in: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Pulseaudio stalls and prevents other applications from starting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230837 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
