Hello everybody, I have checked all the pulseaudio code in order to solve the problem of idling when I have a sink different from the ALSA one (in other words, a new module-null-sink). I need to code this stream using ffmpeg, and if I use the ALSA sink, everything works fine, but whenever I create a new sink, and I forward the applications to output the audio through that sink, if the applications have no sound, the codification states blocked (waiting for an audio stream). I need to have a permanent audio stream - if the application has no audio, the pulseaudio should work as if there were silence, shouldn't it?? - I have the module suspend-on-idle disabled, and I have checked that there is a thread about idling per-device or sth like that, but I don't understand it at all... Can anybody help me?? I would be really really grateful if so!!!!! Thank you very much in advance!!!! With kind regards, Alvaro
