Package: pulseaudio Version: pulseaudio 5.0 Distro: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)
When I playback audio using, for example, aplay, the first playback works fine. Subsequent playback will hang indefinitely. Several ctrl+c signals will restore playback for one additional play. Reproduction steps: 1. Download any wav: wget http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/wav/oboe-bassoon.wav 2. Use aplay to playback the sound: $ aplay oboe-bassoon.wav Playing WAVE 'oboe-bassoon.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo # plays ok ^CAborted by signal Interrupt... aplay: pcm_write:1939: write error: Interrupted system call $ aplay oboe-bassoon.wav Playing WAVE 'oboe-bassoon.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo # hangs without any playback I have tried loading PulseAudio daemon in verbose mode to see what might be going on. When the process hangs, I see: D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] source.c: Processing rewind... I also see a lot of these warnings: D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] protocol-native.c: Implicit underrun of 'ALSA Playback' D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer) D: [alsa-sink-bcm2835 ALSA] sink.c: Found underrun 22784 bytes ago (1792 bytes ahead in playback buffer)
