           Summary: pulsesink does not recover from the pulseaudio server
                    dying
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.4.4
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: james.hodapp at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


Steps to reproduce:

1. Start playback of an mp3 on a platform that uses pulsesink by default:
  GST_DEBUG=*:3 gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///music/my.mp3
audio-sink='pulsesink'
2. kill -9 `pidof pulseaudio`
3. Notice that playback stops and the following errors are observed:

0:00:40.970599079 20926 0xb1c2df80 WARN                   pulse
pulsesink.c:1752:gst_pulseringbuffer_commit:<audio-sink> error:
pa_stream_writable_size() failed: Connection terminated
0:00:41.311085079 20926   0x64f9a0 WARN                   pulse
pulsesink.c:413:gst_pulsering_is_dead:<audio-sink> error: Disconnected:
Connection terminated

Expected results:

1. pulsesink tries to reconnect to the pulse server and recreate the
pa_context.
