I found the bug thanks to strace: it loops for ever with
open("/dev/urandom",O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
I guess it comes from src/pulsecore/random.c, line 64:
/* $Id: random.c 1971 2007-10-28 19:13:50Z lennart $ */
[snip - device = "/dev/urandom"]
while (*device) {
ret = 0;
if ((fd = open(*device, O_RDONLY)) >= 0) {
if ((r = pa_loop_read(fd, ret_data, length, NULL)) < 0 || (size_t) r !=
length)
ret = -1;
pa_close(fd);
} else
ret = -1;
if (ret == 0)
break;
}
It can't open /dev/urandom (because of wrong file permission) and thus never
gets out of the while loop. I think it would be safer to exit (with a failure
code) when /dev/urandom is not available.
Kind regards,
