I want to play a sound loaded on the pulseaudio server (a sample) and repeat it an arbitrary number of times in a loop. I'm using pa_context_play_sample_with_proplist and detecting the end of play with pa_context_set_subscribe_callback with event type == PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_SINK_INPUT and PA_SUBSCRIPTION_EVENT_REMOVE then pa_context_play_sample_with_proplist is called again (from the callback itself) but it has a noticeable delay between the end of the previous sound and the restart (i've tested it on Mandriva with pulse 0.9.15 and 0.9.19 and 0.9.21) I guess it could be done playing the sounds from the app itself but I find very handy and probably "faster" to put sounds into server memory and just play them. It would be great if pa_context_play_sample_with_proplist could especify a number to repeat the sound, perhaps a property into proplist. So any feedback on the idea and orientation on how to implement the loop? J Bertran.
