Package: pulseaudio Version: 0.9.21-4 Severity: normal Hi,
Today I was hit by a full up disk problem that caused the bug I am talking about; pulseaudio then fills up /var/log/syslog with the following messages, every 5 seconds (yes, these are localized): Mar 29 22:59:21 nsk pulseaudio[18495]: pid.c: Failed to write PID file. Mar 29 22:59:21 nsk pulseaudio[18495]: main.c: Échec de pa_pid_file_create(). Mar 29 22:59:21 nsk pulseaudio[18493]: main.c: Échec lors du démarrage du démon. I think it cannot write the PID file because the disk is full, but spaming the log like that worsen the problem, as /var is not on a separate partition here. BTW, I found out about this problem because pulseaudio was also stuck at 100% CPU (don't know if it's related; it's not like it's the first time I see that…) I don't know exactly what it should do, but I see a lot of problem with pulseaudio trying harder when things fail: sometime, it's better to just give up.
