** Description changed:
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I had been using PulseAudio in Gutsy for the past several months, so all
the mundane stuff (groups, permissions, config files) is configured
correctly. Since the upgrade to Hardy, ALSA is unable to use PulseAudio
anymore. Details follow:
- I am in the groups pulse-rt and pulse-access
- ALSA without PulseAudio works just fine
- PulseAudio seems to work fine with GStreamer
Here's what my .asoundrc looks like:
=======================
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }
=======================
I'm attaching my default.pa with the bug.
Here's the output of 'pulseaudio -vvv' when I try to run speaker-test (only
relevant portion here, full output attached):
I: client.c: Created 1 "Native client (UNIX socket client)"
I: protocol-native.c: Got credentials: uid=1000 gid=1000 success=1
I: protocol-native.c: Enabled SHM for new connection
I: client.c: Client 1 changed name from "Native client (UNIX socket client)"
to "ALSA plug-in [speaker-test]"
I: client.c: Freed 1 "ALSA plug-in [speaker-test]"
I: protocol-native.c: connection died.
speaker-test fails with the following:
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 43 to 349525
Period size range from 21 to 87382
Using max buffer size 349524
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 87381
was set buffer_size = 349524
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to create stream.
Unable to set hw params for playback: Input/output error
Setting of hwparams failed: Input/output error
speaker-test: pcm_pulse.c:115: pulse_stop: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed.
Aborted
TEST CASE:
1. Create an .asoundrc file in your home directory to direct alsa to use the
pulseaudio plugin by default for all sound output. This is done with the
command "asoundconf set-pulseaudio"
2. Attempt to run speaker-test with the following command: "speaker-test
-twav -c2"
3. You should get the following error:
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to create stream.
speaker-test: pcm_pulse.c:115: pulse_stop: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed.

NOTE: This SRU is in two parts, one for alsa-lib, and the other for
alsa-plugins. The new revision of alsa-plugins requires the new revision of
alsa-lib in order to function properly.
Intrepid status:
This bug is fixed with alsa-lib 1.0.16 and alsa-plugins 1.0.16 which are both
in intrepid.
Regression potential:
- alsa-lib 1.0.16 introduces new symbols related to plugins, but doesn't change
any of the API for existing applications that use alsa. Thus the regression
potential is minimal.
+ The diffs in comments 8 and 9 introduce fixes and in the case of alsa-lib,
new symbols to be used by alsa-plugins to allow the pulse alsa-plugin to
functino properly No other plugin's functionality should be affected with these
changes.
