Hi all, Some friends of mine ran into the same problem. They're using the gnome desktop environment and pulseaudio.
I've just did some test on my machine. I think it's an configuration issue, based on a specific software combination: - without pulseaudio, using alsa: pause/unpause in working as expected - with pulseaudio and vlc without plugins: pause/unpause causes mute problems - with pulseaudio and vlc-plugin-pulse [1] installed: pause/unpause is working as expected vlc -vv (without vlc-plugin-pulse): [...] [0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: buffer way too late (185630), dropping buffer [0x1b97a88] mpgatofixed32 audio filter debug: libmad error: bad main_data_begin pointer [0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: not synchronized (104463 us), resampling [0x1bb38e8] main audio output warning: buffer way too late (263947), dropping buffer [...] vlc -vv (with vlc-plugin-pulse): [...] [0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output debug: missing latency from input [0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output warning: too late by 101093 us [0x26e1ea8] pulse audio output debug: changed sample rate to 44186 Hz [...] Maybe this helps someone, Georg [1] http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/vlc-plugin-pulse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
