#634: pa_simple_read audio cutting out

 Application calls pa_simple_new, then loops over:

 if (pa_simple_read(g_simple, adbuf, sizeof(adbuf), &err) < 0) {
      sprintf (errmsg, "Failed to read %d bytes from PulseAudio: %s",
 sizeof(adbuf), pa_strerror(err));
      return -1;
 }
 fwrite(adbuf, sizeof(adbuf), 1, rawfh);

 for about 4 seconds.

 The audio file has small time increments cut out. Eg. If I say "I have a
 watermelon" while in the recording loop. File playback sounds like "I've a
 watermelon" or "ave a watermelon."

 I've tried setting buffer attributes in pa_simple_new call:
 //      pabufatr.maxlength = (uint32_t) -1;
 //      pabufatr.fragsize = (uint32_t) -1;
 //      pabufatr.tlength = (uint32_t) -1;
 //      pabufatr.prebuf = (uint32_t) -1;
 //      pabufatr.minreq = (uint32_t) -1;
 but pa_simple_new fails when I do so.

 Is this normal ? I feel like I should be able to expect such a simple loop
 to get all the audio. The system (Core 2 Duo @ 1.5GHz each) is doing
 nothing else during the loop.

 Any help would be appreciated.
