I created a cron job to track pulseaudio's uptime. Unfortunately, there's no pattern (see attachment). The daemon crashes at all times of day, and uptimes range from ~20 hours to ~80 hours. The average uptime over the past week or so has been 33 hours.
The closest bug on the pulseaudio tracker is: http://www.pulseaudio.org/ticket/403 ** Attachment added: "aping.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20716953/aping.txt -- Can't play sound because of pulseaudio hang https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288093 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
