When playing a DVD totem displays a message:

"An error occured"

"pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated"

And the DVD refuses to play.


As far as I can tell this happens with AC3 streams regardless of being stereo
(2-ch) or sourround (3.1/5.1) sound. The problem seems to
be in the a52dec driver, part of gstreamer-plugins-good.

A bug for this issue was raised at redhat bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=566915

Please see that bug too for more details.

As a "metoo", I'm seeing this issue playing .mkv files in totem, all of which
play fine in vlc.

The totem error message coincides with the pulseaudio daemon crashing and being
restarted, which may indicate an issue on the pulse side as well -- no matter
what gstreamer plugins are doing wrong to trigger this, they shouldn't be able
to take out pulseaudio.
