Public bug reported:
While running workrave and pulseaudio, whenever workrave plays a sound
it creates a new playback stream in pulseaudio which does *not* go away.
In padevchooser's volume controller fiddler I can see a huge list of
workrave playback stream controls.
The result of this is no more sound can be played until pulse is killed and
restarted, and my logs rapidly fill with messages:
Aug 3 16:06:18 corona pulseaudio[3134]: sink-input.c: Failed to create sink
input: too many inputs per sink.
EXPECTED: Workrave to play sounds and pulse not to die because of this
ACTUAL : Pulse dies due to workrave being buggy(?) or pulse being buggy(?)
Potentially useful info:
pulseaudio:
Installed: 1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3
Candidate: 1:0.9.15-4ubuntu3
Version table:
