Comment 8 for bug 304649

I tried updating things via step 2, and it didn't help. I don't know where the problem is, but since nothing else is locking up PA, it certainly seems like kvm is to blame.

Again, my setup is:

Ubuntu 8.10 w/PA
Firefox running various audio-based things (Pandora, etc)
KVM running winXP with the es1370 audio driver

The windows audio works (though it has a fair bit of static) the first couple times, then the PA daemon locks up and there's an infinite loop of a half second clip and X locks hard until the pa daemon is killed. My AP daemon.conf looks like this:

daemonize = yes
; fail = yes
; disallow-module-loading = no
; use-pid-file = yes
; system-instance = no
; disable-shm = no

high-priority = yes
; nice-level = -11

realtime-scheduling = yes
realtime-priority = 5

; exit-idle-time = -1
; module-idle-time = 20
; scache-idle-time = 20

; dl-search-path = (depends on architecture)

; default-script-file =

; log-target = auto
; log-level = notice

resample-method = speex-float-1
; disable-remixing = no

; no-cpu-limit = no

; rlimit-as = -1
; rlimit-core = -1
; rlimit-data = -1
; rlimit-fsize = -1
; rlimit-nofile = 256
; rlimit-stack = -1
; rlimit-nproc = -1
; rlimit-memlock = -1
; rlimit-nice = 31
; rlimit-rtprio = 9

; default-sample-format = s16le
; default-sample-rate = 44100
; default-sample-channels = 2

default-fragments = 8
default-fragment-size-msec = 10
